Ole's men laboured to a 1-0 win over Astana in their opening group game of the competition, whilst the hosts took a point from Partizan after an entertaining 2-2 draw.
And boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is so concerned about the poor quality plastic pitch in The Hague that he has refused to let United train on the perfect Carrington astroturf as it's nothing like it.

What is the team news?
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER is set to heavily rotate his Manchester United side for tonight's game against AZ Alkmaar.
Paul Pogba won't be risked on the plastic pitch of Cars Jeans Stadion with Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Ashley Young, Anthony Martial and Eric Bailly all unavailable.
Alkmaar are currently playing at ADO Den Haag's home having had the roof collapse at their own ground during the summer.
And Solskjaer condemned the decision to pick a venue with a plastic pitch that he described as "not the best".
He told reporters: "I’m surprised they’ve chosen to play on this pitch when I’ve looked at it.
"I’m used to it from Norway. It’s not the best I’ve seen.
"It’s one of the worst ones I’ve seen for a long while. We’ve all got standards back home in Norway anyway. It’s safe, I’m not saying it’s not. It’s not the newest.
“I’m surprised that in this climate you have to use astroturf. It’s OK when you live in the North Pole like we more or less do in Norway and can’t play in March, November or December. But here, I’m surprised.”
UNITED'S stars are getting ready for action.
