Manchester United confirm their 25-man squad for the Europa League, but neither Kobbie Mainoo nor Alejandro Garnacho have been included.

Manchester United have submitted their 25-man squad for the Europa League, with the club's five summer signings included, while there is also a spot for 17-year-old defender Harry Amass.

Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho are notable absentees, but the pair are eligible to feature as members of the B list, which applies to Under-21 players who have spent two years at the club.

As a result, Mainoo, 19, and Garnacho, 20, do not need to be included in the A list, while the same can also be said for Toby Collyer, who arrived at Old Trafford from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2022.

Amass, though, only joined from Watford last year, and he would therefore not have met the criteria for the B list, meaning that the left-back has been included in the 25-man selection.

Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee are all included, with the new signings set to represent the 20-time English champions in the European competition.

Malacia is named in Man United's Europa League squad

There is also a spot in the squad for Tyrell Malacia, suggesting that Man United are expecting the Netherlands international to be back in action sooner rather than later.

Malacia missed the entire 2023-24 campaign due to a serious knee injury which has required two separate operations, but there have been claims that he will be back on the field before the end of the year.

Victor Lindelof, Casemiro and Antony are also included despite the speculation surrounding their futures, with clubs from Turkey believed to be showing an interest in the trio.

Casemiro is being linked with Galatasaray, while Antony is thought to be wanted by Fenerbahce, but both players are expected to stay beyond the Turkish transfer window deadline.

When will Man United begin their Europa League campaign?

Man United qualified for the 2024-25 Europa League courtesy of their FA Cup success last season, and they will take on FC Twente in their first match in the competition at Old Trafford on September 25.

The Red Devils will also face Porto, Fenerbahce, PAOK, Bodo/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen, Rangers and FCSB in the league phase, with their last fixture due to take place at the end of January.

Man United have lost two of their opening three Premier League matches of the new season, and Erik ten Hag's side will be bidding to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat to Liverpool when they head to Southampton on September 14.
