Manchester United face the only opposition they're yet to encounter in their Europa League group on Thursday night as Turkish side Fenerbahce visit Old Trafford.

The Istanbul outfit drew on the weekend and sit a disappointing ninth in the Turkish Super Lig after winning only two of their first seven games.

United's form has also been patchy of late, although they got a creditable draw at Anfield on Monday night despite the dour spectacle.

The Red Devils have history against Fenerbahce and the last time they faced each other in Europe led to one of the famous Old Trafford nights.

For those with the capability to remember back to 2004, you might recall a young 18-year-old Wayne Rooney making his debut against the Turkish giants.

Not that it fazed him one bit. The Merseyside-born forward scored a hat-trick, instantly winning a place in fans' hearts.

That love has been dampened recently and he doesn't make it into the predicted XI that could face their coming opponents.

The game will, however, see the return of United favourite Robin Van Persie. He may have only given the Red Devils one good season, but that will always be one of the most fondly remembered campaigns of the era...

There's no need to rest De Gea. The Spaniard remains one of best 'keepers in the world.

Antonio Valencia

He's been really settling into his role as United's main right-back and was sensational against Liverpool, making a crucial last-ditch challenge to stop Roberto Firmino scoring (above)

The Ivorian has been a revelation since joining. Big and strong, we wouldn't like to play against him.

He must get a chance at some point! This is a perfect game to try and let him prove himself again and challenge Daley Blind for the left-back spot.

Michael Carrick

Carrick has not been utilised by Mourinho very much, but he's a good member of the squad and a good run out for the 35-year-old makes sense.

The Belgian performed well against Liverpool. Often scapegoated by United fans, he is having a good season so far.

Similar to Shaw, it's time to give him another chance! Both Shaw and Depay hit it off really well last season but the left-back's injury dented their progress. Hopefully they'll get another chance to shine on the left.

He's the talk of the town because his performances just aren't there yet. There's no doubting his endeavour and work-rate, but the quality is lacking. There's plenty of time to get it right but the £89m fee might be hanging over him, slightly.

United's Armenian winger has had some injury problems of late and was subbed at half-time in their defeat to Manchester City, but he could show the fans what he can do.

Marcus Rashford

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is probably due a rest and isn't scoring anyway, so it would be nice to see Rashford playing up top, in his preferred position.
