Fans can finally catch a glimpse of summer recruit Youri Tielemans, who made the squad alongside fellow new signing Andrey Santos.
It will be interesting to see whether Michael Carrick utilises a brand new midfield partnership against Luis Enrique’s side.
Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui had returned from their post-World Cup break last week, and have been named in the squad.
Big guns return
However, Matheus Cunha will remain in Carrington, alongside Senne Lammens. The club have revealed that both are suffering from minor illnesses.
The duo will be headed to the Republic of Ireland for next week’s training camp.
Interestingly, there is still no sign of Benjamin Sesko, with Joshua Zirkzee included in the squad in place of the Slovenian.
A few academy wonderkids like JJ Gabriel miss out, while Tyler Fletcher and Jack Fletcher retain their place in the squad.
