dylanjamesbellThe back four picks itself really, although questions may be asked of Jones being there...I've chosen him over Ferdinand because I think Ferdinand is getting on in age and looks tried on the weekend after a mid-week champions league game, and I think Jones is more solid defensively than Smalling and Evans.

I think European games are won and lost in the midfield, so I've opted for a hard-working yet technically sound midfield. There's no denying that Rooney, Fletcher and Cleverley have the fitness and the hard graft needed to play in midfield. Rooney and Cleverley give the midfield that bit of technical ability on and off the ball.

Up front I've picked Hernandez to be the poacher, and Van Persie and Kagawa supporting him. I think Kagawa would supply alot of chances for Van Persie and Hernandez to convert...plus I think rooney is a better box-to-box midfielder than Kagawa.
