Manchester United Captain Bruno Fernandes has revealed his all-time 5-aside team and there’s no place for his current teammates at the club, Softfootball reports.
The Portuguese got injured at the weekend when Manchester United lost 2-1 against Aston Villa in the Match-Day 17 of the Premier League played at Villa Park.
Speaking to Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand in his official podcast, Fernandes listed the names of the players with detailed description of why he chose them. He said:
Best five-a-side players? Oh, it’s a very tough one. I’m gonna put… I have to put one defender, no? If you want, I will put, as a defender, Pepe just ahead of Rafa Varane, just because I played more with Pepe than I played with Rafa. But friendship-wise, Rafa was like one of my best friends here. In midfield, I will put Juan Mata because he was one of the most special players I’ve played with in terms of technical ability, he’s probably one of the best. And then in terms of personal, he’s by far one of the best. I will put one that I think everyone has regrets about not seeing the best of him, that is Pogba. I need to put him there. I’ve seen the best of him because I played against him in Italy. So that’s three – Pepe, Juan, Paul. And I need two more. Obviously, Cristiano has to be there. It’s the main goal scoring of the football world all the time for me. And then I have one more striker to put there. I will put Di Natale.
Fernandes’ leadership skills has been praised by Ruben Amorim and Manchester United will miss that quality when they face Newcastle United in midweek.
