Manchester United submits 23-man Premier League squad for 2026/27 season
Summary

Manchester United confirmed its 23-man squad list for the 2026/27 Premier League season following the close of the summer transfer window. The club moved to reinforce its midfield during the summer, acquiring Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, and Carlos Baleba. Despite initial expectations to sign additional forwards and defenders, the club completed its business without further reinforcements in those positions. The submitted roster includes eight homegrown players and remains under the maximum limit of 25 players, allowing flexibility for potential mid-season signings in January. Notable first-team members Kobbie Mainoo and Leny Yoro were omitted from the main list as they are registered under the Under-21 category. These youth players, along with others such as Ayden Heaven and Harry Amass, remain eligible for selection throughout the campaign under the management of Michael Carrick.
