Mourinho confirmed on Tuesday that Mkhitaryan was at least in contention for a start, but he has opted to go with other options from the start, leaving the attacking midfielder to contend with a place on the bench.

And Ibrahimovic makes his first start of the season, having recovered from the knee injury which prematurely his 2016-17 campaign.
