As many expected, Jose Mourinho names a strong eleven against Feyenoord in the Europa League. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is handed his first start in a long time for Manchester United, while club captain Wayne Rooney is also named among the playing eleven.

Luke Shaw returns after a mini injury and will take up his station at left-back with Phil Jones and Daily Blind operating in a central defensive role. Michael Carrick starts the second game in a row for the first time this term, and will partner Paul Pogba at the heart of the midfield.

Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera are named among the substitutes and are expected to feature in the game against the Dutch giants.

For the visitors, former Liverpool attacker Dirk Kuyt starts down the right flank with Eljero Elia on the opposite wing. Jan van der Heijden and Wesell Dammers will play as centre-backs with Brad Jones in goal.
