Manchester United are unchanged from their laboured display against Aston Villa for tonight's Champions League play-off against Club Brugge at Old Trafford.

The only change by Louis van Gaal is bringing Marouane Fellaini in for Paddy McNair on the bench.

It means Wayne Rooney remains as the sole striker in the side, supported by youngsters Memphis Depay and Adnan Januzaj on the wings.

Juan Mata, Morgan Schneiderlin and Michael Carrick complete the midfield.

As expected, their is no place for David De Gea in the squad.

The sides are meeting in the first of their two-legged play-off to determine who will reach the group stage of the competition.

The second leg will be played in Belgium on Wednesday 22 August.

Manchester United team...

Romero, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Shaw, Carrick, Schneiderlin, Mata, Memphis, Januzaj, Rooney.

Johnstone, Valencia, Schweinsteiger, Herrera, Fellaini, Young, Chicharito.
