Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial out of Rostov tie

Jose Mourinho has ruled both Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial out of Manchester United’s Europa League tie with Rostov on Thursday.

Goalkeeper: The Red Devils boss has started Sergio Romero in the previous rounds, including the first leg in Russian Federation last week, so the Argentinean global is expected to come in again with David De Gea dropping out. Over in the USA, you’ll want Fox Sports 1.

He outlined the high expectations at Carrington and Old Trafford when he stated that “we always aim high in everything we do here”.

The game will also be shown on BT Sport 2 and on the BT Sport app via our acclaimed enhanced video player. “It’ll be the same players we had in last match [at Chelsea], plus Ibrahimovic”. But the no.18 added that he is happy to play in any position he is required for the team.

He said: “I feel the world is losing balance”.

” It is hard for me to believe we are going to play tomorrow in that field – if you can call it a field”.

Ivan Daniliants’ side can be proud of how far they’ve progressed in Europe having started their campaign from the qualifying rounds of the Uefa Champions League to finishing third in a group comprising of Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and PSV Eindhoven.

“Now we’re at home, we’ll get the ball down and play”.

However, United will be at a standstill if they are to miss out on qualification for the Champions League again, with a single EFL Cup win a poor return for a team boasting that much quality under Mourinho’s leadership.

After a professional performance last week in Russian Federation, the Reds return to friendly confines with the tie level at 1-1 on aggregate and with a crucial away goal.

Mourinho doesn’t want him to be involved in the tournament because he thinks Rashford has outgrown that level and that it will also disrupt his pre-season plans with United. “I’m sure we can go out there, get the win and be in the next round”.
