Manchester United have announced a 25 man squad for their upcoming tour to China.
New signings Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan feature for Jose Mourinho’s side, but new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not included, nor is Marouane Fellaini.

The Swede is taking an extended summer break after featuring at Euro 2016 and will meet up with the squad upon their return.
The full list of the 25 players confirmed by the club’s official website is as follows: De Gea, Romero, Johnstone, Bailly, Blind, Fosu-Mensah, Jones, McNair, Rojo, Shaw, Smalling, Tuanzebe, Valencia, Carrick, Herrera, Januzaj, Lingard, Mata, Memphis, Mkhitaryan, A.Pereira, Young, Keane, Rashford, Rooney.
England’s Wayne Rooney
Axel Tuanzebe and Andreas Pereira were two players to catch Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho during the club’s win over Wigan at the weekend, while Will Keane has perhaps his last chance to impress.
Marouane Fellaini though appears to be heading for an exit from Old Trafford after being snubbed by Mourinho.

Wayne Rooney and Chris Smalling, who was hospitalised during his summer holiday in Thailand, also travel.
Another name who does not feature is teenager James Wilson, who started against Wigan at the weekend but did not do a lot to impress. His omission could see him leave the club on loan.
