United today announced their squad for the current Premiership campaign.

After much debate, crocked midfielder Owen Hargreaves has been included in the 24-man Premier League squad.

New rules require all Premiership clubs to register a maximum of 25 players following the close of the transfer window between now and the re-opening of the transfer window in January.
Players who are under 21 at the turn of 2011 can play without being named in the squads.
Eight of the 25 need to be ‘homegrown’, which means they must have been trained in England or Wales for three seasons before they turned 21.
Changes to the squads outside of the transfer windows can only be made in exceptional circumstances, such as when a move made be allowed because of a goalkeeping crisis.
