Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho confirms two starters vs Everton
Jose Mourinho has indicated Phil Jones and Eric Bailly will return to the Manchester United side after they were suspended for the 3-0 Champions League win over Basel.
Victor Lindelof and Chris Smalling deputised for Bailly and Jones, who have started all four of United's Premier League games this season, as an all-new back four kept a clean sheet against the Swiss champions on Tuesday night.
Mourinho also rested Antonio Valencia and dropped Matteo Darmian for Basel's visit, yet all but confirmed Bailly and Jones' weekend returns and hinted at a 'surprise' selection.
"They [Smalling and Lindelof] train really hard," he said after United beat Basel. "They train together always in the same team because I knew they had to play this match together.
"If you want to anticipate the next weekend I probably play Bailly and Jones because today they didn't play, because they are fresh, because it makes sense for them to play again, but then two days after we have a League Cup match, so Victor and Smalling again.
