Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed the Manchester United Champions League squad for the knockout stages of the competition and it contains no surprises. Clubs were required to submit a senior list of up to 25 players to UEFA on Tuesday. They were also allowed to name an unlimited number of players on a ‘B’ list which includes players born on or after 1 January 1989 who have given at least two years continued service to the club after their 15th birthday. As a result, both Rafael and Fabio for example, both make the list.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s men take on Marseille in the first knockout round later this month, with a first leg visit to Stade Velodrome on Wednesday 23 February, followed by the return tie at Old Trafford on Tuesday 15 March.
