Jose Mourinho to include most United stars in squad to face Burton Albion

MANCHESTER -- Jose Mourinho has promised to take the League Cup seriously again this season with the Manchester United manager planning to rest just four of his stars for the clash with Burton Albion on Wednesday.

Mourinho will give David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Nemanja Matic and Eric Bailly the night off as United begin their defence of the trophy against Nigel Clough's Championship side.

But first-team regulars Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are set to be included in the squad for the game at Old Trafford as Mourinho looks to add to his four successes in the competition.
