Jose Mourinho still intends to rest players for Arsenal clash despite crucial away win against Celta Vigo

Jose Mourinho will stick with his plan to rest some of Manchester United's players in their Premier League clash with Arsenal on Sunday.

The United boss saw his side move a step closer to the Europa League final as Marcus Rashford's splendid free-kick secured a deserved, if hard-fought, 1-0 first-leg win at Celta Vigo.

The away goal could prove crucial but the narrow winning margin means Mourinho will, as suggested on the eve of the first leg, rest several players when United return to Premier League action on Sunday.
