Manchester United Vs Fenerbahce : Europa League Today At 8:05pm - European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says
he will field a "strong" side as a "difficult week"
continues with a Europa League match against
Fenerbahce.
Thursday's Group A fixture is United's second of
three matches in six days.
They drew 0-0 at Liverpool on Monday, and play
Mourinho's old team Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
on Sunday.
"It's a very difficult week for us. Monday,
Thursday, Sunday; Liverpool, Fenerbahce,
Chelsea. It's a special week. We have to be
ready," he said.
The Portuguese would not be drawn on his line-
up - or whether forward Wayne Rooney would
start the 20:05 BST kick-off at Old Trafford.
The England captain, 30, has been a substitute
for United's past four matches.
"I don't want to give you the team," said
Mourinho. "Sometimes I do, but this time, no.
"Wayne is working well, he is positive. We count
on him - to start or to be on the bench.
"If we play with a team that is not good and
strong, we won't have a chance. We will play a
really good team knowing two days later we
have to play again."
Mourinho did confirm attacking midfielder
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is available after recovering
from a thigh injury that has kept him out since
mid-September.
