Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has been dropped for the second game in a row while Sergio Romero replaces David de Gea in the starting XI for their Europa League clash against Ukranian side FC Zorya Luhansk.

It’s more bad news for Rooney, as he starts on the bench for the second game in a row. Jose Mourinho has made four changes from the team that beat Leicester on the weekend. Highly rated youngster Tim Fosu-Mensah gets his first start for the Red Devils this season, replacing Antonio Valencia, while Argentine Marcos Rojo replaced Daley Blind at right-back.

Fellaini comes in for Ander Herrera and Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea has been given some time off in favour of back-up keeper Sergio Romero.
