Europa League: Manchester United Release Squad List To Face FC Barcelona
Manchester United is preparing for the much-anticipated Europa League playoff second leg at Old Trafford, just a week after the first leg in Camp Nou.
The game will be a tough one, with both teams eager to advance to the next round of the competition. The Red Devils will be looking for a win after UEFA eliminated the use of away goals from the competition.
Although the Red Devils are in good form, Barcelona is having a better season, with the Catalans leading La Liga by eight points over Real Madrid.
Manchester United will be without key players such as Harry Maguire, Antony and Anthony Martial, but they will be boosted by the return of Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer, who both missed the first leg.
Donny Van De Beek and Christian Eriksen are long-term absentees, so here is the complete squad that will face Barcelona on Thursday night at Old Trafford, according to team news on Manchester United’s official website.
Goalkeepers: Jack Butland, David De Gea, Tom Heaton.
Defenders: Wan Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Brandon Williams, Luke Shaw.
Midfielders: Fred, Marcel Sabitzer, Scott McTominay, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Konnie Mainoo, Pellistri.
Forwards: Wout Weghorst, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho.
