UEFA has published the squad lists for all 32 participants in the UEFA Champions League group stages. For Manchester United, this includes 34 players - divided into a 'Player A list' and a Player B list'. Here is the squad for 'A list':
Goalkeepers: David De Gea, Anders Lindegaard, Tomasz Kuszczak
Defenders: Patrice Evra, Phil Jones, Rio Ferdinand, Jonny Evans, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Vidic
Midfielders: Anderson, Ryan Giggs, Ji-Sung Park, Michael Carrick, Nani, Ashely Young, Tom Cleverley, Darren Fletcher, Antonio Valencia, Darron Gibson
Forwards: Michael Owen, Dimitar Berbabtov, Wayne Rooney, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez, Mame Biram Diouf
Here is the squad for the 'B list':
Goalkeepers: Ben Amos, Sam Johnstone
Defenders: Fabio, Rafael, Sean McGinty
Midfielders: Matty James, Davide Petrucci
Forwards: Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda, Will Keane
Here is how UEFA classifies their 'List B' players:
1. Each club is entitled to register an unlimited number of players on List B during the season.
2. A player may be registered on List B if he is born on/after January 1986 and had been eligible to play for the club concerned for an interrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday by the time he is registered with UEFA.
There is a total of total of 10 players on this 'List B' but more can be added up to 24 hours before a fixture. It is believed that starlets Ravel Morrison and Paul Pogba can be included in this group.

Is the B list really nescesary?
Surely you could just do an unlimited amount of player under a certain age. and a cap of sayy, 20 on the players above that.
The list B rules you looked up must be very old
List B players for the 2011/2012 season must be born on or after 1/1/90, not 1986. I wouldn’t put too much faith in the squad lists they have on the UEFA site at the moment, as Arsenals (just as an example) lists players that were sold during the window.
I think you may be correct
Thanks for the heads up

That squad has so much depth, from top to bottom.
Also, could someone explain the purpose of the B List?
"Can Manchester United score? They always score... Peter Schmeichel is forward... Beckham, in towards Schmeichel- it's come for Dwight Yorke. Cleared... Giggs with a shot- SHERINGHAM!"
B List
is the players that ARE eligible to play but don’t count against the max number of players limit because they’re not old enough yet.

The purpose is in case you have no enough people to play for your games..
For example, you’ve 25 people in the squad, but only 14 available as the rest face suspension/injures. You name 11 players but only have 3 as subs, but 4 of the rest of the subs will come from your B-List, which are mostly U21/Youth Players.
In the case where you’ve less than 11 players available, this B-List will become very very important. That’s the logic behind it.
But you will still be able to use players from the B team won't u
I mean we have Rafael, Fabio Amos, Macheda and Welbeck
Surely the twins and welbeck will play
