Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Phil Jones miss Manchester United training ahead of Europa League opener
Thursday 15 September 2016 10:13, UK
Marcus Rashford trained ahead of Manchester United's trip to Feyenoord but Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Phil Jones missed out.
United manager Jose Mourinho has already confirmed Rashford is ready to start as they begin their Europa League campaign in Rotterdam on Thursday night, and the 18-year-old was alongside forwards Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the squad underwent their final preparation at the Aon Training Complex on Wednesday.
Rashford was sent on at half-time as United suffered their first competitive defeat under Mourinho against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City on Saturday.
Mkhitaryan, who did not train with the squad on Wednesday, and Jesse Lingard were hauled off to make way for teenager Rashford and Ander Herrera.
Mkhitaryan suffered a thigh injury while on international duty with Armenia earlier in September and has started just one competitive game for United this season. The £26.3m summer signing is not expected to be part of the squad for Thursday's game against Feyenoord.
