Mourinho explains his departure from Manchester United XI

Jose Mourinho explained some of the ideas of the Manchester United club that he chose to face the Young Boys.

United will face the Young Boys in a match that could allow them to retain their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Mourinho chose to drop Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku on the bench, omitting Alexis Sanchez of the day.

The Portuguese made six changes to the team that drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace on Saturday, recalling Fred and leaving Marcus Rashford in the center.

"They are still asking Rashford to play, so you can not complain that Rashford is playing number nine," he told UEFA.

"And people like Fred, so you can not complain that Fred plays.

"Fresh blood, fresh legs, people who did not play in the last game, two days ago. I always think that playing after two days is never so easy.

"I'm trying to keep some stability in the team, but with new people and the three attackers, Lingard, Rashford and Martial. All are young, all fast, they are all supposedly fresh, so that's how we go. "
