Manchester United has officially submitted their squad for the group stage of the 2023/24 Champions League to UEFA.
After the recent draw, the team is set to compete against Bayern Munich, FC Copenhagen, and Galatasaray.
The highly anticipated European journey will commence on 20 September, as the Reds travel to the remarkable Allianz Arena to face Bayern.
The club has revealed their 25-player squad for the upcoming campaign.
Despite his recent criticism of manager Erik ten Hag, Jadon Sancho has made the cut. However, midfielder Van de Beek has been excluded from the squad as he is allegedly in discussions with Galatasaray regarding a potential loan move.
The squad includes all the new signings, namely Andre Onana, Mason Mount, and Rasmus Hojlund. Additionally, deadline-day arrivals such as Altay Bayindir, Jonny Evans, Sergio Reguilon, and Sofyan Amrabat have also been included.
According to the club, the squad for the upcoming matches consists of two categories: the 'A List' and the players who have been trained either by their clubs or associations.
Before the first game against Bayern, the 'B List' will be submitted, which will include Alejandro Garnacho, an Argentine international, along with other players who have progressed through our Academy.
The club also said all of their summer signings, including midfielder Sofyan Amrabat and striker Rasmus Hojlund, who will face his former club in Copenhagen, have been registered.
It is important to note that this squad is only for the group stages, and the 'B List' can be updated with young homegrown players before each fixture.
The club added that the confirmation of the 'B List' is expected prior to the Bayern Munich opening game.
The squad for the upcoming UEFA Champions League campaign incudes the following players:
