Manchester United have named the 22 players who will travel to South Africa for the first leg of their pre-season tour.
The squad reads: Lindegaard, Amos, Johnstone, Ferdinand, Veseli, Vermijl, Wootton, Blackett; Valencia, Anderson, Carrick, Scholes, Powell, Kagawa, Bebe, Tunnicliffe, Lingard, Brady, Petrucci; Berbatov, Chicharito, Macheda.
The team play two matches, against AmaXulu FC on Wednesday and against Ajax Cape Town on Saturday.
A number of first team regulars miss out, all of those who featured at Euro 2012, with Jonny Evans also missing.
Those featuring at the London Olympics, David De Gea and Tom Cleverley, are also not included, but new signing Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell are.
Several young players will be hoping to make their mark, including the talented Lingard and Petrucci, while Federico Macheda and Anderson will be keen to make up for lost time last season.
Dimitar Berbatov is also included, despite adding that he wants to be sold this summer. Good performances on tour can't hurt those prospects.
Perhaps most intriguing is the inclusion of Portuguese youngster Bebe, signed for £7 million, returning from an unsuccessful loan spell with Besiktas, marred by injury.
It will be his first pre-season with the club, and he can enjoy a fresh start, or at least play himself into another loan move and regular football next season.
Who will you be looking out for on United's tour? What do you expect from Bebe?
