Rooney, United’s alltime top scorer, has not played since the start of February and missed Sunday’s FA Cup fifth-round win over Blackburn Rovers. Mourinho also ruled Rooney and defender Phil Jones out of United’s Europa League last 32 match at St Etienne on Wednesday. United have a 3-0 lead from the first leg of the tie.
“Rooney is injured. Jones is injured. I don’t think they will recover,” the manager added.
“Rooney and Jones haven’t trained with the team yet so I don’t think they will be there for Wednesday.”
United, who have won the League Cup four times before, beat Hull City 2-0 at Old Trafford before losing 2-1 away in the semi-final to progress to the final with a 3-2 aggregate score.
