United's starting XI was named as: Sergio Romero, Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Daley Blind, Shaw, Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku and Juan Mata.

Mourinho said yesterday: "When you speak about Luke you are right, he is working to have an opportunity and sooner or later the opportunity will arrive, because he deserves the opportunity.
