Man United have announced their Champion’s League squad for this year and my initial reaction was that there were a few surprises. The first is that Owen Hargreaves’ has been included, does that mean he is close to a return?

The second is that Zoran Tosic wasn’t included, I no he hasn’t played that much first team football but he is a good player and I think he could have played his part.

I was also surprised to see the inclusion of Richie da Laet, we haven’t seen much of him either.

Here is the list:

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.

The UEFA ruling also allows players who are born on or after January 1 1989, to compete outside of the registered 25.

Additional players registered: 8.Anderson, 19.Welbeck, 23.J.Evans, 31.C.Evans, 33.Hewson, 36.Gray, 37.Cathcart, 38.Zieler, 39.Chester, 40.Amos.
