The best of the two sides battling at Old Trafford tonight, all rolled into one.

Check in to Manchester United vs Real Madrid

Goalkeeper – Iker Casillas

Currently sidelined but when fully fit he eases in ahead of David de Gea, who is, though much improved, not as capable as his national team colleague.

Left-Back – Patrice Evra

French veteran beats off Real Madrid competition for the left-back slot.

Centre-Back – Nemanja Vidic

Again the Serbian fits into this eleven on the basis of his being 100% fit, which unfortunately for Sir Alex Ferguson is these days something of a rarity.

Centre-Back – Sergio Ramos

Real Madrid centre-back, who can also occupy full-back role, will play alongside Vidic.

Right-Back – Alvaro Arbeloa

Reliable if not spectacular Spaniard just pips in-form Rafael.
