Darren Fletcher was included in Manchester United's 25-man List A squad as the Red Devils announced an initial 33-man squad for this season's Champions League.
Fletcher, who has been out of the game for quite a while after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, is a part of the 25-man List A squad, pointing to the fact that United see the midfielder making a return soon. The Scotland is slowly getting himself back to action, after missing for United since November last year, taking part in a testimonial last month.
United youngster and new signing Nick Powell was also included in the 25-man squad.
Meanwhile, Tom Cleverley expressed his happiness at teammate and good friend Danny Welbeck signing a new contract at Old Trafford. Cleverley, who himself signed a new four-year deal last October, said it was a "big boost" to see Welbeck also put pen to paper on a four-year contract. "It was great to see Danny sign a new deal," Cleverley told Inside United. "It's a big boost for us.
"He's a fantastic player and someone the manager has great faith in.
"We've come up through the ranks together - we know each other so well and how each other plays and hopefully we can get some more game time together.
"We played some good stuff together last season but got injuries at different times and didn't get many chances to play together after the first few games. Hopefully that will change this season.
"Danny is a top-class striker and I think he can do big things for both United and England."
Cleverley missed much of last season after suffering a serious injury at the beginning of the campaign, and the midfielder is hoping to play a much more integral part in United's success this year. "The way my injuries fell last year meant I didn't play one Champions League game -- playing in it will be another milestone in my career," he said.
"Hopefully we can do a lot better than we did last season. It's something that has been on our minds -- this is a squad full of winners so to underachieve and be knocked out of the group stages really hurt all the players.
"As always, we'll be going out to win every competition we're in this season."
