Jose Mourinho says he has a lack of options for Manchester United's clash with Benfica on Wednesday night.

The Red Devils have six players out with injury, which has caused the Portuguese manager some selection headaches.

Asked if he could name the starting line-up, Mourinho said: "I will not tell you the team," he replied.

"Firstly, because the players don't know yet but, secondly, we have so many injuries, I think that should be something that you can view with almost a guarantee of success because our options are so few that it is easy for you to guess the XI."
