“I have to think. I’m going to make a few but not too many changes,” United manager Jose Mourinho said. “We didn’t qualify yet, we didn’t finish first in the group yet,” he said.

“There are other clubs also involved in the qualification and I need to keep a certain balance in the team but when you speak about Luke Shaw you are right, he is working to have an opportunity and sooner or later the opportunity will arrive because he deserves that opportunity.

“Selected for tomorrow? Yes for sure. To start or to be on the bench? I cannot answer.”

Shaw has under 12 months left on his contract and has yet to be offered a new deal.

Turkish giants Fenerbahce have expressed an interest in the full-back according to the Sun.

United are without six first-team squad members against CSKA. Eric Bailly, Michael Carrick Marouane Fellaini and Phil Jones remain sidelined through injury and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not be considered for selection.
