Manchester United have named a 22-member squad for the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal tie against Barcelona.
Manchester United will take on Barcelona in a crucial game at Camp Nou on Tuesday night.
The side will aim to do a repeat of the round-of-16 tie against PSG, where goals from Lukaku and Rashford secured an epic turnaround at Parc des Princes.
However, Manchester United’s form has been a concern for the manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The side has lost four of their last six games and crawled to a 2-1 victory against West Ham.
Barcelona, meanwhile, have almost secured a second consecutive La Liga title, but 20th-placed Huesca frustrated the Catalan side to a goalless draw last weekend.
As Manchester United take on Messi and his men, the club announced a 22-men squad for the game.
Manchester United squad vs Barcelona:
Solskjaer received a huge boost ahead of the game at Camp Nou as Nemanja Matic and Alexis Sanchez return to the squad. Both spent a significant amount of time on the sidelines.
Sanchez will return to Barcelona for only the second time since leaving the side in 2014 to join Arsenal. However, he is likely to take his place on the bench and could make a substitute appearance in the game.
Luke Shaw is suspended for the second leg, but has been named in the squad regardless. Matteo Darmian was on the bench against West Ham and will travel with the team to Barcelona.
None of the academy youngsters (Greenwood, Chong and Garner) have been named in the squad.
Here’s the full squad:
De Gea, Romero, Grant, Dalot, Darmian, Young, Jones, Lindelof, Rojo, Smalling, Shaw, Fred, Matic, McTominay, Pereira, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Martial, Sanchez, Lukaku, Rashford.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has also travelled with the team to Spain.

Alexis Sanchez is part of the United travelling squad heading to Barcelona, but Shaw (suspended) and Herrera (thigh) are not with the group. Matic has recovered from illness and Ashley Young could feature as his domestic ban does not include the Champions League. #MUFC
