Real Madrid Vs Man United: Best Current Combined XI

The best of the best from both the Bernabeu and Old Trafford.

Goalkeeper – Iker Casillas

Spanish international number one gets the nod ahead of David de Gea, who has improved a great deal of late.

Left-Back – Patrice Evra

Experienced Frenchman moves ahead of both Marcelo and Fabio Coentrao

Centre-Back – Pepe

Rock solid Portuguese international has calmed the temperamental part of his game down and is a much more reliable player as a result.

Centre-Back – Nemanja Vidic

When full fit there are few better centre-backs in Europe.

Right-Back – Alvaro Arbeloa

Former Liverpool man edges Rafael for selection.

Central Midfield – Xabi Alonso

Bernabeu midfield maestro gets the nod to pull the strings in the centre of the park.

Central Midfield – Michael Carrick

We elect to use the Man United man to act as a pendulum alongside Alonso.

Attacking Midfield – Mesut Ozil

German assist-machine to sit just in front of the duo.

Support Striker/Wide Attack – Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Man United man will provide width, invention and a bagful of goals.

Support Striker/Wide Attack – Wayne Rooney

In-form attacker will play in a floating role supporting the other members of our attack trio.

Striker – Robin Van Persie

Dutch goal machine will be the spearhead of our attack.
