Manchester United travel to Russia to take on FC Rostov in the Champions League this evening…

The Red Devils endured a frustrating 1-1 home draw with Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffering a nightmare day, having a penalty saved whilst also elbowing Tyrone Mings – an action that has seen him receive a three-game ban.

That only applies domestically though, meaning he can play against Rostov tonight, and the Swede is named in the United starting line-up this evening.

Ibrahimovic leads the line in attack, and will be supported by Ashley Young, Marouane Fellaini and the returning Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who plays for the first time since suffering an injury in United’s last Europa League clash against Saint-Etienne.

Paul Pogba partners Ander Herrera in midfield, with a back four of Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind in front of goalkeeper Sergio Romero.

Jose Mourinho has a host of attacking options at his disposal on the bench, with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rshfod, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard all named as substitutes, along with David De Gea, Michael Carrick and Antonio Valencia.

Rostov enter the game having beaten Sparta Prague 5-1 on aggregate in the last round, and they have major pedigree having taken on Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich in the Champions League earlier this season.

Spanish defender Cesar Navas and Ecuadorian midfielder Christian Noboa both start, as do star playmaker Dmitry Poloz and target man Aleksandr Buharov.

Liverpool target Sardar Azmoun is named on the bench alongside Andrei Prepelita and Khoren Bayramyan, with Rostov chasing a shock victory this evening.
