United have registered 35 players for this season's Champions
League group stages, and it is also positive to note that Owen
Hargreaves has been included.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men kick off the new European campaign away to Besiktas on 15 September in Istanbul.
The
Reds midfielder isn't due back at the club on 23 September, where it is
hoped he will begin the final phase of his recovery tendonitis after
surgery on both knees last season.
But it is positive nonetheless that he is being considered for action during the group stages.
Hargreaves
has been in America working on his rehabilitation programme over the
summer and it would now seem he is nearing the end of a year-long road
to recovery.
United's Champions League squad numbers in full are: 1.Van der Sar, 2.Neville, 3.Evra, 4.Hargreaves, 5.Ferdinand, 6.Brown, 7.Owen, 9.Berbatov, 10.Rooney, 11.Giggs, 12.Foster, 13.Park, 15.Vidic, 16.Carrick, 17.Nani, 18.Scholes, 20.Fabio, 21.Rafael, 22.O'Shea, 24.Fletcher, 25.Valencia, 26.Obertan, 27.Macheda, 28.Gibson, 29.Kuszczak.
