United know that they need only a draw to ensure progression into the next round but Mourinho is taking no chances with his team selection.
Paul Pogba plays in the centre of midfield with Ander Herrera next to him, whilst Rooney, Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata support Ibrahimovic.
Daley Blind and Ashley Young are expected to line-up at full-back whilst Marcos Rojo is joined in the centre of defence by Eric Bailly, who makes his return from injury.
The Ivorian has been out of action since October 23rd having suffered a serious knee injury.
Finally, Sergio Romero gives David De Gea an evening off.

If United win they will have a chance to top the group ahead of Fenerbahce and even with a defeat they could still go through.
Should United lose then all eyes will be on the other game, where Feyenoord will progress if they beat their Turkish opponents.
