Some of Manchester United's travelling squad for their game against Atletico Madrid has been revealed after the Red Devils were spotted boarding their flight to Spain.

Ralf Rangnick's side travel to Madrid to face last year's winner of La Liga in their Champions League last-16 tie, with the tournament being United's only real opportunity for silverware this season.

With rumours of discontent emerging around the club, fans will be boosted by the sightings of some of United's biggest names ahead of their crucial match.

United's important names such as Paul Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho were all pictured arriving for their flight to Madrid.

Promising youngster Hannibal Mejbri was also spotted boarding the plane alongside Anthony Elanga, the 19-year-old winger that's thrived for United in recent weeks.

Eric Bailly's return will be a welcome sight for fans, as it'll be his first potential involvement since returning from the African Cup of Nations.

Ralf Rangnick confirmed in his pre-match press conference that 35-year-old striker Edinson Cavani would not be travelling following a groin problem.

Rangnick said: 'No, Edi will not be able to make the trip,' Rangnick said. 'He didn't train and he has not been training for the last couple of weeks, so he will not be part of the group.

'He has problems with his groin and, as long as he does not feel able to fully sprint, it does not make sense to train him and to force him back into training.

'I think he's got enough experience to know by himself if he's fully available again.'
