#4 United reveal travelling squad for Pre-season tour

Solskjaer has a balanced squad for Pre-season

Manchester United's squad for the pre-season tour has been revealed and there are a few surprises. The inclusion of Paul Pogba was expected, however, quite a few names are missing. Fred is reportedly getting married next week if his wife's social media activity can be taken as a reference. Axel Tuanzebe will get a chance to impress on pre-season, but there is no place for Dean Henderson or Timothy Fosu-Mensah in the squad.

Henderson is believed to be on his way back to Sheffield United on loan, however, Timothy Fosu-Mensah's future at Old Trafford looks bleak, especially after failing to impress while on loan last season.

Here's the full squad list:

Goalkeepers: De Gea, Grant, J. Pereira and Sergio Romero

Defenders: Bailly, Dalot, Jones, Lindelof, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw, Smalling, Tuanzebe, Wan-Bissaka and Young

Midfielders: Andreas Pereira, Chong, Garner, Gomes, James, Lingard, Matic, McTominay, Pogba and Mata.

Forward: Greenwood, Lukaku, Martial and Rashford.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.

Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
