Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is named in Jose Mourinho’s starting eleven and is likely to play on the left wing. Juan Mata will start on the opposite flank with Paul Pogba playing as a number 10.
Eric Bailly has also been named in the lineup and is one of four central defenders in United’s back line. Matteo Darmian and Ashley Young have played in the full-back positions recently, but are left on the bench.
