The Reds were required to submit a list of a maximum of 25 players to UEFA on Tuesday. Teams can also name an unlimited number of qualifying players on a 'B' list, which includes players born on or after 1 January 1989 who have given at least two years' continued service to the club after their 15th birthday. Rafael and Fabio, for example, both make United's 'B' list.
Sir Alex's men take on Marseille in the first knockout round later this month, with a first-leg visit to Stade Velodrome on Wednesday 23 February, followed by the return tie at Old Trafford on Tuesday 15 March.
United's Champions League knockout phase squad is as follows: Goalkeepers Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Lindegaard; Defenders Evra, Ferdinand, Brown, Smalling, Vidic, Fabio*, Rafael*, O'Shea, Evans, Gill*; Midfielders Anderson, Giggs, Park, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, Fletcher, Valencia, Gibson, Norwood*; Forwards Owen, Berbatov, Rooney, Hernandez, Obertan, Bebe, King*, W Keane*.
