Manchester United vs CSKA Moscow teams: Shaw and Rashford start Champions League clash
MANCHESTER UNITED teams are out for their Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow tonight.
Mourinho hints at CSKA start for 'hard-working' Luke Shaw
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho confirmed before tonight's game against CSKA Moscow that Paul Pogba and Sergio Romero would start.
And he also hinted that Luke Shaw would be involved.
"I have to think. I'm going to make a few but not too many changes. We didn't qualify yet, we didn't finish first in the group yet," he said.
"There are other clubs also involved in the qualification and I need to keep a certain balance in the team but when you speak about Luke Shaw you are right, he is working to have an opportunity and sooner or later the opportunity will arrive because he deserves that opportunity.
"Selected for tomorrow? yes for sure. To start or to be on the bench? I cannot answer."
And Mourinho has stayed true to his word.
Sergio Romero starts in goal with Antonio Valencia, Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling and Shaw all starting at the back.
Daley Blind partners Ander Herrera in midfield with Paul Pogba playing in a more advanced role.
And Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford will be flanking Romelu Lukaku, who gets the nod up top.
