United’s hopes of a trophy this season and European football next season – vital for their financial issues – now rest on winning the Europa League.<\/p>\n
Clubs were allowed to add three new players to the ‘A’ list of their 25-player European squad by the Uefa deadline on 6 February before the start of the knockout round.<\/p>\n
United added January signings Patrick Dorgu and 18-year-old Ayden Heaven, specifically to boost Ruben Amorim’s first-team squad.<\/p>\n
But at that point Amorim was not considering Obi as a senior player and said the forward was someone who might get an opportunity later in the season.<\/p>\n
In addition to increasing the ‘A’ list, clubs can add players to their ‘B’ list to play in Uefa competitions at any point up to 23:00 GMT the day before a game.<\/p>\n
‘B’ list players are anyone who has been able to play for the club in question either for two continuous years from a player’s 15th birthday or for two out of three years if the player has spent time at another club on loan.<\/p>\n
Obi does not meet the criteria as he only joined United from Arsenal in October.<\/a><\/p>\n Other youngsters available for Thursday’s game are Harry Amass, Louis Jackson, Habeeb Ogunneye, Jack Fletcher and Jayce Fitzgerald.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
