Man Utd boss Mourinho admits senior trio will miss season kickoff

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho admits they won't start the season with a fully fit squad.

He confirmed that Luke Shaw could be back in September after damaging ligaments in his foot.

Ashley Young is expected to be fit again in October and Marcos Rojo will be available in December or January when he recovers from a ruptured cruciate ligament.

"They have no chance for the beginning of the Premier League," said Mourinho. "Shaw is the first, Marcos the last one and Ashley in between.

"But it's good to have them. It's good to be with us (on tour), to recover with the group. The group is really strong and really together."
