UEFA has published the squad lists for all 32 participants in the UEFA Champions League group stages. For Manchester United, this includes 34 players - divided into a 'Player A list' and a Player B list'. Here is the squad for 'A list':

Defenders: Patrice Evra, Phil Jones, Rio Ferdinand, Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Vidic

Midfielders: Anderson, Ryan Giggs, Ji-Sung Park, Michael Carrick, Nani, Ashely Young, Tom Cleverley, Darren Fletcher, Antonio Valencia, Darron Gibson

Here is the squad for the 'B list':

Here is how UEFA classifies their 'List B' players:

1. Each club is entitled to register an unlimited number of players on List B during the season.

2. A player may be registered on List B if he is born on/after January 1986 and had been eligible to play for the club concerned for an interrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday by the time he is registered with UEFA.

There is a total of total of 10 players on this 'List B' but more can be added up to 24 hours before a fixture. It is believed that starlets Ravel Morrison and Paul Pogba can be included in this group.
