Wayne Rooney Among 5 Big-Name Absentees From Manchester United's UEFA Europa League Squad

Wayne Rooney Among 5 Big-Name Absentees From Manchester United's UEFA Europa League Squad

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is one of five big names manager Jose Mourinho did not select for the club's Europa League clash with Feyenoord.

Click through the gallery to see which five United stars were dropped by Mourinho.

The English giants will face the Dutch side in the Europa League on Thursday, but it seems Mourinho wants to give a few players a bit of a break as there was no indication any of them were missing out due to injury.

There was no official explanation as to why the five players, all of whom started the Manchester derby, are absent.

The Red Devils lost their last game against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City 2-1 at Old Trafford, and will hope to get back to winning ways on Thursday.

However, the trip to De Kuip won't be easy as Feyenoord have begun their campaign with five wins from five games.

Here is United's 20-man squad for the game:

Goalkeepers: David de Gea, Sergio Romero, Sam Johnstone

Defenders: Matteo Darmian, Eric Bailly, Daley Blind, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Marcos Rojo, Chris Smalling

Midfielders: Michael Carrick, Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Memphis Depay, Paul Pogba, Morgan Schneiderlin, Ashley Young

Forwards: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford
