Sir
Alex Ferguson will select from a younger squad than usual when he names
his Manchester United side to face Galatasaray on Tuesday night.
The party
of 21 players flying out to Istanbul includes seven young men who have
yet to play in the UEFA Champions League, including midfielders Nick
Powell, Larnell Cole, Davide Petrucci and Ryan Tunnicliffe, striker
Joshua King and defender Marnick Vermijl. The other two - defender /
defensive midfielder Tom Thorpe and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone - are still
without a senior appearance in any competition for the Reds, although
both are United Under-21 regulars and have been capped by England at
Under-19 level.
The
senior players missing the trip to Turkey include Wayne Rooney, Rio
Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David De Gea and Robin van Persie.
Travelling
squad: Sam Johnstone, Anders Lindegaard; Rafael, Alexander Buttner,
