Manchester United news
GK: David de Gea
An easy choice in goal even if Simon Mignolet has improved recently, David de Gea is currently one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
DC: Emre Can
A superb young defender enjoying a great run of form, Liverpool’s Emre Can makes up part of the back three.
DC: Martin Skrtel
A player much improved this season, Martin Skrtel has been an important contributor to Liverpool’s tremendous recent run.
DC: Marcos Rojo
Another solid defender, Manchester United’s Marcos Rojo has had a good season and completes this three-man defence.
MC: Jordan Henderson
One of the two slightly more defensive midfield players of the five, Jordan Henderson has been superb for Liverpool and deserves his place.
MC: Ander Herrera
Narrowly in ahead of team-mate Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera looks a great signing by Manchester United and makes our combined XI.
MR: Raheem Sterling
One of the best young players in the Premier League, Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling is an easy choice on the right flank here, though he has played in many positions this season.
ML: Philippe Coutinho
Not his best role perhaps, but Liverpool’s Brazilian star has been world class of late and could fit in nicely in a fairly free role on this side.
AMC: Angel Di Maria
Not an in form player by any means, but Manchester United playmaker Angel Di Maria is world class on his day and has to be included despite a slow start to life in English football.
FC: Wayne Rooney
A player looking back to his best recently, Wayne Rooney has shone whenever used upfront this season and remains a hugely important figure for Manchester United.
FC: Daniel Sturridge
A superb striker who has had a difficult time with injuries, Daniel Sturridge at his best walks comfortably into this combined XI.
