    THE EXPLANATION

    Manager Erik ten Hag did not include big names like Marcus Rashford, Antony, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof in the squad. Rashford and Maguire miss the clash due to niggles as the English centre-back has still not fully recovered from his injury, though he did join training this week.

    While several senior players have not been named in the travelling squad, new signing Leny Yoro has made it to Ten Hag's team and will make his first appearance donning a United shirt. Jadon Sancho has also travelled with a squad after missing out on the Rosenborg friendly clash.
