Manchester United’s official squad for the upcoming Europa League match against Fenerbahce has been confirmed, and it includes three teenagers. Manager Erik ten Hag has decided to bring defenders Harry Amass and Habeeb Ogunneye, as well as striker Ethan Wheatley from the Under-21 team, to Istanbul for the game.
The young players will have a great opportunity to gain experience as the team aims to secure more points in the Europa League against Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce side. Unfortunately, Jonny Evans will not be able to participate due to a knock he received during the recent victory over Brentford. However, Matthijs de Ligt and Casemiro are both fit and available for selection.
Several other players will also be missing from the squad, including Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo, and Mason Mount. Bruno Fernandes is suspended following a red card in the previous match against FC Porto, so the captain was given a rest from training on Wednesday.
The confirmed travelling squad for Manchester United includes goalkeepers Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, and Andre Onana. In defense, the team will have Harry Amass, Diogo Dalot, Matthijs de Ligt, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Noussair Mazraoui, and Habeeb Ogunneye. The midfield will be controlled by Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Manuel Ugarte, while the attacking options include Amad, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, Ethan Wheatley, and Joshua Zirkzee.
In addition to the squad announcement, fans can also enjoy a special deal of 25% off on the home kit, with the discount applied at checkout until October 25th. This is a great opportunity for supporters to gear up and show their support for the team during this exciting period of the season.
Looking back at the history between Manchester United and Fenerbahce, there are iconic images from the team’s first trip to Istanbul in 1996. These rarely-seen photos capture the essence of the rivalry and the passion of the fans, making them a must-see for any football enthusiast.
During the training session at Carrington on Tuesday, Erik ten Hag’s squad showed a good balance of youth and experience, highlighting the manager’s strategy and preparation for the upcoming match. With the confirmed squad and the support of the fans, Manchester United is ready to take on Fenerbahce and secure a positive result in the Europa League clash.
