The Man United squad for tomorrow's massive game does not inspire much confidence

From a 19-man squad, nine players are under the age of 23.

MANCHESTER UNITED NEED a result against Wolfsburg in their Champions League game on Tuesday night but the 19-man squad that they’ve brought to Germany is raw, inexperienced and missing a couple of key players.

Wayne Rooney and Morgan Schneiderlin have joined Ander Herrera, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo on the injury list and that means that Louis van Gaal is relying on youth to get the job done tomorrow evening.

There are nine players under the age of 23 included in the group and three of them – Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Sean Goss and Andreas Pereira – are still teenagers.

Nick Powell has been recalled to the squad despite his last appearance for United coming in the 4-0 Capital One Cup loss to MK Dons last August.
