Manchester United news: Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial ruled out of Europa League clash, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns

Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial will be absent for Manchester United's Europa League last-16 second leg against FC Rostov, but top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in line to start.

Both Rooney and Martial missed Monday's FA Cup quarter-final at Chelsea through injury, and Jose Mourinho confirmed both will be sidelined on Thursday despite the latter training on the eve of the match.

Martial, Luke Shaw and Bastian Schweinsteiger trained away from the main group, which included Ibrahimovic after he missed the trip to Stamford Bridge through domestic suspension.

Ibrahimovic’s return will be the only change to the squad that lost Monday's ill-tempered FA Cup clash at Chelsea.
