Robin van Persie has picked his dream Manchester United five-a-side team
Van Persie has left out £60million British record signing Angel di Maria and £37m man Juan Mata with his selection.
The United striker has opted for a balanced line-up, with David de Gea in goal, Michael Carrick sweeping and Wayne Rooney and Radamel Falcao joining himself in attack.
When asked what his dream five-a-side team was, Van Persie said: "That's a good question because you have to make a decision if you want to go with attackers or have a combination and you might need a goalkeeper!
"I will go for David [De Gea] in goal. I need one defender so I will go with Michael Carrick because he can play in both positions [defence and midfield], then I'll go for strikers so Wayne [Rooney].
"I'm involved as well? I'm not on the bench?! So me, David, Michael, Wayne and… this is very hard because you have Juan [Mata], you have [Angel] Di Maria and you have Falcao... I'll go for Falcao."
