Your support makes all the difference.Jose Mourinho has made eight changes from the team that ran out against Manchester City at the weekend, with Chris Smalling captaining the side.
Only David de Gea, Paul Pogba and Eric Bailly keep their place from Satuday while Marcus Rashford makes his first start of the season.
Wayne Rooney has been rested for the fixture and did not travel to Rotterdam with the squad as Zlatan Ibrahimovic drops to the bench.
Rooney is among six first-team stars who have not made the trip with Antonio Valencia, Luke Shaw, Jesse Lingard, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Phil Jones all remaining in Manchester.
Mkhitaryan and Jones both missed out on training at United’s Carrington training base on Wednesday, although Mourinho hinted that the pair would be dropped after their poor performances in the Manchester derby on the weekend.
Matteo Darmian's future at the club has been in doubt in recent weeks but the Italian starts tonight for Mourinho, stepping in for Valencia at right-back.
As for Feyenoord, former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt starts in midfield with Steven Berghuis, on loan from Watford, out on the right wing.
Starting XI:
Feyenoord: Jones, Karsdorp, Botteghin, Van der Heijden, Kongolo; El Ahmadi, Kuyt, Vilhena; Berghuis, Jørgensen, Toornstra
Manchester United: De Gea, Darmian, Bailly, Smalling, Rojo, Schneiderlin, Herrera, Mata, Pogba, Martial, Rashford
