Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal explained the absence of Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata for their 0-0 draw at FA Cup opponents Cambridge United.
The attacking pair plus the injured Jonny Evans were the three players who didn't feature on Friday night after starting the previous match against QPR last Saturday.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, van Gaal said he wouldn't have changed his decision to leave Rooney and Mata off his teamsheet, despite his team's 0-0 draw with Cambridge.
"I gave Wayne a rest," the manager told reporters after the game. "He's fit to play, as is Juan Mata. I don't regret leaving them out of the team."
