Sergio Romero, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo are all absent from Manchester United's Champions League squad. The trio's omission raises questions over their futures with the international transfer window now shut. However, a domestic window is open until October 16 meaning all three could still secure moves away from the club ahead of the Premier League's resumption after the international break.

Manchester United have left Sergio Romero, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo out of their Champions League squad on Thursday.
There are places for Axel Tuanzebe and Timothy Fosu-Mensah in the squad, while goalkeeper Lee Grant gets in ahead of Romero.
The Major League Soccer transfer window is still open until October 29 and Romero, 33, is linked with a move to USA, according to the Daily Mail.
Rojo spent the second half of last season on loan at Argentine side Estudiantes, while Jones only played two Premier League matches last season.

Homegrown players such as Mason Greenwood, Teden Mengi and Brandon Williams can remain on the B list, which could be added to up to 24 hours before any particular fixture.
United start their Champions League campaign against Paris Saint-Germain on October 20 before facing RB Leipzig (Oct 28) and Istanbul Basaksehir (Nov 4) in Group H.
