Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Phil Jones to miss St Etienne game

Jose Mourinho has said Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Phil Jones will not play in Manchester United's Europa League clash with St Etienne on Thursday.

Old Trafford plays host to the first leg of the round-of-32 tie on Thursday, with Mourinho's men looking to take a comfortable advantage to France next week.

Rooney, Carrick and Jones were absent from the 23-man squad at the Aon Training Complex for training on Wednesday morning.

Jones has been absent since going off in the Premier League match with Hull due to a foot complaint, while Rooney and Carrick were on the bench against Watford.
