One Manchester United player almost missed the flight home as he was unable to produce a urine sample after being chosen for a doping control after the match.

The unnamed United star had to be given a lift to the airport by a police officer as he was struggling to provide a urine sample after United's 1-0 defeat.

Police in Rotterdam produced the following tweet.

The message translates as: "End of service. One player from [Manchester United] narrowly put on the plane. He could not pee at doping control".
