He said: "At the back, I'd pick Daley [Blind]. I think you need a player at the back who is going to be composed and assured on the ball.
"Midfielder? I'd say Pogba. You need that bit of flair in midfield. I'll say Ander [Herrera] as well, he's got a bit of bite to him and you need that energy and aggression.
"Marcus Rashford up front. He's got the skills up top to beat a player and score.
"In net, obviously David de Gea."
