Manchester United add two players to Champions League squad

Thursday, 14 September 2017

Manchester United have added Kieran O'Hara and Demetri Mitchell to their Champions League squad.

Goalkeeper O'Hara, 21, is listed as United's fourth-choice goalkeeper, having participated in pre-match preparations against Feyenoord, St Etienne and Rostov in the Europa League last season. The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, who has played on loan at Morecambe and Stockport, was also named on the bench for the final Premier League game last term against Crystal Palace.

Mitchell, 20, made his United debut in the Palace win and was selected in the pre-season tour squad of the United States, where he played against the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake, before featuring in the friendly win over Norwegian side Valerenga.

The Reserves duo were added to the squad sheet earlier this week after United confirmed their 25-man squad last week and are among six players on the B list, along with Joel Pereira, Axel Tuanzebe, Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford.

Uefa rules state: "A player may be registered on the B list if he is born on, or after, 1 January 1996 and has been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday (players aged 16 may be registered if they have been registered with the club for the previous two years).

"Clubs are entitled to register an unlimited number of players on List B during the season."

Reserves striker James Wilson, who recently returned from a serious knee injury, was also included in United's Champions League squad.
