Manchester United have added their three January signings to their Europa League squad for the knockout stages of the competition - including Bruno Fernandes.
Fernandes signed from Sporting in January, and is eligible to represent United despite having played in all of his former club's group stage matches in the Europa League. UEFA dropped the rule preventing players from only representing one club per season in European competition in 2018.
United had to submit their desired squad changes by 24:00 CET on Monday 3 February, where they could add up to three new players. The resulting squad has seen Fernandes joined by loan signing Odion Ighalo and youth addition Nathan Bishop, who joined from Southend.
Marcos Rojo and Ashley Young are omitted from the squad after joining Estudiantes and Inter Milan respectively in January.
United play their first leg of their last-32 tie at Club Brugge on February 20.
Clubs can name up to 25 player on their A list, with eight places reserved for 'locally trained players' - those who were on the books of their current club, or another club within the same association, for three years between the ages of 15 and 21.
The B list contains an unlimited number of players and is made up of homegrown youngsters who can be called upon at anytime during the competition.
United's A-List contains the majority of the first team, as well as the likes of youngster Matej Kovar and Axel Tuanzebe.
Many of United's young players, including Mason Greenwood, are included on the B List, which contains players born on, or after, 1 January 1998 and has been for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday. There can be an unlimited number of B-List players, but they must be registered by no later than 24:00CET the day before a match.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah is a notable omission from the squad, according to UEFA's website, but he qualifies as a B-List player so could still feature in the knockout stages.
Full squad:
Goalkeepers: David De Gea, Lee Grant, Sergio Romero, Matej Kovar, Nathan Bishop.
Defenders: Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly, Diogo Dalot, Phil Jones, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Ethan Laird, Max Taylor, Brandon Williams, Di'Shon Bernard, Teden Mengi, Axel Tuanzebe.
Midfielders: Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay, Andreas Pereira, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Bruno Fernandes, Fred, Daniel James, Angel Gomes, James Garner, Arnau Puigmal, Ethan Galbraith, Largie Ramazani, Dylan Levitt.
Forwards: Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Odion Ighalo, Mason Greenwood, Tahith Chong, D'Mani Mellor.

Martial once again disappointing, He's not a striker but as a forward, doesn't make the runs in behind or tries to stretch the defense and wants the ball at his feet. Most times looks flat-footed when the ball comes to him and loses the ball. He should be shifted to the left where he can do better running at the defense, cutting inside and possibly create something. Ighalo would be looking at Martial and thinking I can do a lot better. In fact if he can perform even 10% better than Martial he would be starting games upfront. He could be what we need right now - someone who can roughen up the opposition defense, put them under pressure and create space for others to create something. Perreira was again poor, although playing in CM but didn't contribute anything going forward. James couldn't do much but he is still young and learning. Bruno did well for his debut. He just needs to hold his position in the attacking third - majority of the game he was dropping deep to receive the ball and in the second half probably played in CM and Perreira was up top. Fred for all the stick he got and rightfully so, has really improved and had a good game again. The defense still needs work and a better CB to partner Maguire. From crosses and set pieces we seem vulnerable most times and fortunately not many dangerous deliveries yesterday. Hopefully with a 2-week break and players coming back, we should be more prepared for the rest of the season. Bruno would have time to settle in and having Pogba/ McTom would surely help. Ighalo could really make a difference for us in the coming months and hope he is ready after the break.,..
