Sanchez, 29, joined United in January from Arsenal but has struggled for consistency.
He was left out of the squad for Saturday's 3-1 defeat at West Ham and reports suggested that he had fallen out with Mourinho and was considering his future.
However he is back in the starting line-up as Mourinho makes four changes.
Eric Bailly, Antonio Valencia, Marcus Rashford and Sanchez all start as Victor Lindelof, Scott McTominay, Ashley Young and Anthony Martial drop out.
United won the opening match of the group stage as they beat Young Boys 3-0 in Switzerland.
For Valencia Michy Batshuayi and Rodrigo start up front together with former Arsenal duo Gabriel Paulista and Francis Coquelin also playing.
TEAMS IN FULL
Manchester United - De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Shaw, Fellaini, Matic, Pogba, Rashford, Lukaku, Alexis
