Matteo Darmian is one of three right-backs included in Manchester United's squad for the Champions League group stage.

Darmian's future at Old Trafford was uncertain during the transfer window, and he revealed he could have joined either Inter, Juventus or Napoli.

A move did not materialise despite United signing youngster Diogo Dalot, who is also in the squad along with club captain Antonio Valencia.

Striker Marcus Rashford is not on the A list because he still qualifies for the B list, as an English player born after January 1 1997, but exciting youngster Andreas Pereira is included after featuring in the Premier League this term.

Marcus Rashford handed No 10 shirt.

United's group-stage campaign gets underway against Young Boys in Switzerland on September 19.
