Mata names a legendary Man Utd XI, with current team-mates left out.
Manchester United playmaker Juan Mata told Sky Sports his dream Red Devils XI, with club legends like Ryan Giggs, but no room for current team-mate Wayne Rooney…
GK: Peter Schmeichel
One of the best ever goalkeepers to play in this country, it’s no surprise to see United legend Peter Schmeichel in goal in this XI.
DC: Rio Ferdinand
A world class centre-back for many years, Rio Ferdinand is another obvious choice for Mata in this dream XI.
DC: Nemanja Vidic
Superb alongside Ferdinand in defence, Nemanja Vidic was a real leader and big-game player for the Red Devils.
DC: Patrice Evra
Part of a back three here, Patrice Evra was a superb all-rounder at left-back and up there with United’s best in the modern era.
