Starting XI
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has been rested for Thursday's Europa League clash with Feyenoord, manager Jose Mourinho said on Wednesday. Rooney has played in all of United's Premier League games this season and also captained England in their World Cup qualifying win over Slovakia earlier this month.
Mourinho said he wanted to keep his 30-year-old captain Rooney fresh for Sunday's league game at Watford. "He (Rooney) has played every game since the start of the season. He has also played 90 minutes for the England team," Mourinho said.
"I want him to be fresh for the next Premier League match. In the position he plays, I have lots of solutions and people that it has been really hard to have a chance." Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard, who were taken off in the first half of United's 2-1 defeat by Manchester City in the league on Saturday, have also missed out on the trip to Rotterdam.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah was included in the squad as key defenders Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia were also left out. Mourinho said striker Marcus Rashford would start for the first time this season while Memphis Depay, Ashley Young and Michael Carrick have also been included in the 20-man squad.
Manchester United's chances of winning the Premier League could be hindered by their Europa League campaign, manager Jose Mourinho has said. United face Dutch league leaders Feyenoord in their opening group game in Europe's second-tier competition on Thursday, with Mourinho opting to rest the likes of captain Wayne Rooney, Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw for the trip to Rotterdam.
The Portuguese, who lifted the trophy with Porto in 2003 when it was the UEFA Cup, said the congested fixture list was not ideal for his side to challenge for their 21st English league title.
"It's more difficult, yes (to win the Premier League when you are playing in the Europa League)," Mourinho told reporters.
"It would be better if we had the privilege of playing on a Monday after a Thursday game to have one day (recovery) but we didn't get that privilege.
"In fact, the gift we have is to play Liverpool on the Monday before, not the Monday after. So (next month) we play Liverpool on the Monday, Fenerbahce on the Thursday and Chelsea on the Sunday.
"So we know that we are not going to have any kind of support on that."
United missed out on a Champions League spot after finishing fifth in the league last season, and the former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager said that the three-time European champions would respect the Europa League.
"It is not a competition that United wants. It is not one I want or the players want but it is a competition where we are and that is the reality," Mourinho added.
"I think you can see by our selection that we come to respect our opponent and we come to win the game. We want to win the competition
Manchester United's injury-prone defender Phil Jones could be sidelined for around a month due to a knee problem, the Premier League club said in a statement.
The 24-year-old, who is yet to feature for United this season, did not travel with the squad to Rotterdam for Thursday's Europa League fixture against Feyenoord after suffering a knee ligament problem, manager Jose Mourinho said.
The England international has been hampered by injuries since his move to Old Trafford from Blackburn Rovers in 2011, and was restricted to just 13 appearances for United last season due to ankle and foot problems.
