Manchester United squad vs Chelsea revealed



Maroune Fellaini may be set to make a come back in the game versus Chelsea on Sunday. 

Marouane Fellaini could make his first
Manchester United appearance in over a month against Chelsea on Sunday and Marcos Rojo has also travelled with the squad to London. Fellaini was at Stockport Station with his teammates after spending the last four weeks out with a medial knee ligament injury he suffered in Belgium's World Cup qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Fellaini has scored four in his eight United appearances this season and his manager Jose Mourinho has frequently lamented the midfielder's absence. Fellaini was keeping Ander Herrera out of the United side before he succumbed to injury and Mourinho now appears to have the luxury of three experienced central midfielders to choose from at Stamford Bridge. Scott McTominay made his third United start against Benfica on Tuesday night and also boarded the train at Stockport Station.

Mourinho suggested United had not received as many plaudits for their form without key players due to his refusal to 'cry' about injuries.


"I think it's my fault because I should cry every
week about our injuries and remember everybody day after day or press conference after press conference," Mourinho added. "I should remember every day our situation, so it's my fault, it's my decision, it's my way of dealing with problems, it's my way of trying to motivate and give confidence to the players that are going to replace people. "But again maybe I have to reconsider my profile.
I know that I moan with a lot of things but I don't do with injuries and probably I should because your question is a good question. I think any other manager would be speaking about Pogba everyday. 'Oh I don't have Pogba, oh when I havePogba, oh 10 matches without Pogba, oh all the Champions League group phase without Pogba, oh all the big matches against Liverpool, against Chelsea, against Spurs without Pogba.' "I don't speak about Pogba one single time, it's only when you ask me about his situation and it's not just Pogba. It's Fellaini, it's Carrick, it's Ibra,  it's Marcos Rojo, it's a big group of players. So yes, I think we are doing very, very well. Very, very
well.

Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic return to their former club but Mourinho does not believe the occasion is more significant for the summer signings.

"I faced Romelu when Romelu was at Everton, I faced Nemanja last season when he was at
Chelsea and it's business," Mourinho shrugged. "I am obviously happy they are with us. If I was not happy I wouldn't ask the club to try to get them, obviously I am very happy with their performance level, with the way they adapt to a new club. "Obviously, I am very, very happy with them but we must look with different eyes, it happens in other countries probably when the players change from club to club and that becomes just business."

Suggested squad formation: 3-4-3.
