The defender, who has not featured under manager Jose Mourinho, returns from a knee ligament injury with United in the midst of a defensive crisis. Eric Bailly is out with a knee problem, fellow centre-back Chris Smalling has a foot complaint, and Antonio Valencia was diagnosed with a fractured arm following the 1-0 win over Manchester City in the EFL Cup.
Anthony Martial, Tim Fosu-Mensah and Mkhitaryan are included in the 21-man group after missing recent squads but Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia and Memphis Depay will remain in Manchester for the match on Thursday in Istanbul.

United squad: De Gea, Romero, Johnstone; Blind, Jones, Darmian, Fosu-Mensah, Rojo, Shaw; Fellaini, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Lingard, Mata, Pogba, Schneiderlin, Young; Ibrahimovic, Martial, Rashford, Rooney.
