Manchester United name a strong XI to play Feyenoord

Manchester United have named a strong side for their first European game of the season.

Jose Mourinho's side are in Rotterdam to take on Feyenoord, and will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing showing in the Manchester derby last Saturday. United lost 1-2 to City at Old Trafford, and looked pedestrian for large proportions of the game. Meanwhile, their Dutch opponents come into the game in great form, having won their last five games, scoring 14 goals and conceding just three. United fans will be familiar with the tireless Dirk Kuyt. The 36-year-old captains the home side, which also features Brad Jones, another former Liverpool player. "This is not a competition that Man United wants," Mourinho said earlier this week.

"It is not the competition I want, it is not the competition the player want, but it is a competition where we are and that's the reality. "It is an important match for us and we must find that motivation that I have found myself already.

Mourinho has stayed true to his word, despite his apparent indifference to Europe's second club competition, and named a strong team. Stephen Rochford chats with Colm Parkinson on The GAA Hour, heated Lee Keegan debate, and Barry Cahill is outnumbered by Mayo backers. Subscribe here on iTunes.
