Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says he will field a "strong" side as a "difficult week" continues with a Europa League match against Fenerbahce.

Thursday's Group A fixture is United's second of three matches in six days.

They drew 0-0 at Liverpool on Monday, and play Mourinho's old team Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

"It's a very difficult week for us. Monday, Thursday, Sunday; Liverpool, Fenerbahce, Chelsea. It's a special week. We have to be ready," he said.

The Portuguese would not be drawn on his line-up - or whether forward Wayne Rooney would start the 20:05 BST kick-off at Old Trafford.

The England captain, 30, has been a substitute for United's past four matches.

"I don't want to give you the team," said Mourinho. "Sometimes I do, but this time, no.

"Wayne is working well, he is positive. We count on him - to start or to be on the bench.

"If we play with a team that is not good and strong, we won't have a chance. We will play a really good team knowing two days later we have to play again."

Mourinho did confirm attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is available after recovering from a thigh injury that has kept him out since mid-September.
