Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan on bench vs. Brighton

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is back on the bench for Manchester United against Brighton.

The Armenia international was criticised by Jose Mourinho at his prematch news conference on Friday but has been recalled to the squad after missing out against Newcastle and Basel.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also among the substitutes for the third game in a row.

Juan Mata, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young are back in the starting line-up after not travelling to Switzerland in midweek, but Jesse Lingard, who started against Basel, and Luke Shaw are not in the squad.

Valencia and Young are joined in defence by Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof.

Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba are in midfield behind a front four of Mata, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku.

Marcos Rojo, Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera are all on the bench after starting in the defeat to Basel on Wednesday.

Full Manchester United XI vs Brighton: De Gea, Valencia, Young, Smalling, Lindelof, Matic, Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Martial, Lukaku.
