Reason Mainoo and Yoro have not been included in United's Champions League squad
- Manchester United submitted their 23-player Premier League squad after the transfer window closed on Tuesday, notably excluding midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and defender Leny Yoro from the official roster.
- Both players remain eligible for selection because they classify as Under-21 talent, having been born on or after 1 January 2005, which exempts them from mandatory squad registration requirements.
- United submitted 23 of a possible 25 players, including eight homegrown stars and midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who remains registered despite suffering a World Cup injury that could sideline him until next year.
- Academy prospects including Kai Rooney, son of Old Trafford legend Wayne Rooney, feature on the U-21 list, while teenage forward JJ Gabriel remains excluded as he is only 15 years old.
- United may amend this squad list once the mid-season transfer window closes; Mainoo has already logged 103 of 180 minutes this season, demonstrating his continued integration despite the squad exclusion.
