MOURINHO TAKES 20 PLAYERS TO ROTTERDAM
Jose Mourinho has named a 20-man squad to travel to Rotterdam for Manchester United's opening Europa League match away to Feyenoord.
The players on Wednesday afternoon's flight to the Netherlands are as follows:
De Gea, Romero, Johnstone; Darmian, Bailly, Blind, Fosu-Mensah, Rojo, Smalling; Carrick, Fellaini, Herrera, Mata, Memphis, Pogba, Schneiderlin, Young; Ibrahimovic, Martial, Rashford.
The Reds kick off the Europa League campaign on Thursday evening at De Kuip in only the third-ever meeting between the two clubs. United won the previous two - home and away in the Champions League group stages in 1997/98 - but face a Feyenoord side in excellent form following five wins from their opening five league matches.
The latest encounter promises to be an absorbing affair and Mourinho is expected to shuffle his pack after saying recently how he plans to make use of his full squad during a busy September.
