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.

Andreas Pereira has been on the fringes of the first-team for a while and scored in the Capital One Cup win over Ipswich in September. Nigel French / EMPICS Sport Nigel French / EMPICS Sport / EMPICS Sport

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.
