Wayne Rooney has been left out of Manchester United's trip to PSV Eindhoven.

The club captain is nursing a slight hamstring injury and has earmarked Sunday's game with Southampton for his return.

Striker James Wilson and attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira have both joined the 18-man squad that faced Liverpool on Saturday on the trip to Holland.

Wayne Rooney has been left out of the Manchester United squad to face PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday

United's captain is still struggling with the hamstring injury that ruled him out of Saturday's win over Liverpool

Rooney had played in England's Euro 2016 qualifiers with San Marino and Switzerland, earning himself a place in the history books by breaking Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time scoring record

James Wilson, linked with a loan move away, has been drafted in for the Champions League fixture

Rooney sustained the injury in training ahead of Saturday's 3-1 win over Liverpool.

Wilson is expected to go out on loan at the end of the week and Pereira, who was signed from PSV, have both been added to the 18-man squad that was on duty against Liverpool.

Pereira suffered an injury while away with Brazil's Under 23 side but is fit for selection again.
