WAYNE ROONEY is the shock omission from the Manchester United which will travel to Feyenoord for their Europa League opener.
Jose Mourinho had earlier confirmed Marcus Rashford was set to start in Rotterdam.
Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw are other regular starters to miss out — while Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard are other notable omissions.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic , Paul Pogba and fellow new signing Eric Bailly are all included and could make their European debuts for the club.
Bastian Schweinsteiger has, of course, been left out.
United will look to get off to a good start in Rotterdam, and victory in the competition will see them become just the fifth team — after Ajax, Juventus, Bayern Munich andChelsea — to have won all three major European trophies.
As well as European Cups/Champions Leagues won 1968, 1999 and 2008, they also claimed the 1991 Cup Winners’ Cup — in Rotterdam.
The Red Devils last faced Feyenoord in 1997, winning home and away — with Andrew Cole netting a hat-trick at the De Kuip.
This will be Mourinho’s first match in Europe’s secondary competition since he won the Uefa Cup with Porto in 2003.
