Published 14th Sep 2016

Wayne Rooney has not been included in the Manchester United squad for the Europa League tie with Feynoord on Thursday night.

The United and England captain trained with his teammates but was left out along with Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia for the European opener.

Jesse Lingard and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who were both taken off at half-time during the derby defeat have also been left out as Jose Mourinho looks to utilise his squad in Holland, while Phil Jones is injured.

Marcus Rashford could be set for a first start of the season, while Matteo Darmian, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Marcos Rojo, Michael Carrick and Memphis Depay may also be included having failed to make the derby day squad.
