Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera could return from injury in Manchester United’s Champions League clash with Sevilla on Wednesday, Jose Mourinho has revealed.

Rashford was absent for the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United last time out due to a hip problem, while a thigh issue forced Herrera to miss each of their last two games.
