Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said his side struggled to play with the UEFA Europa League ball on Thursday in their 1-1 draw with Club Brugge.

The Red Devils put in an uninspiring performance as they met the Belgian side in the away leg of their round-of-32 tie in wet and windy conditions.

Solskjaer said:

"It was a difficult game against a well-organised team in difficult conditions. I don't think it was one of the best games that anyone's seen.

"A bit sloppy concentration-wise, but the conditions with the pitch and the ball makes it hard.
