Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney revealed his current best five-a-side team of Premier League players opting against naming any current Red Devils.
Furthermore, the first name that came out of Rooney’s mouth was none other than Manchester City star Phil Foden. Speaking on his podcast , the former England international spotlighted Foden first.
“Phil Foden, definitely,” Rooney said almost instantly and without hesitation with his first pick. “Five-a-side, Phil Foden, tight areas, brilliant.”
After a brief pause, Rooney went on to pick his next four players.
“Probably Cole Palmer as well in there,” Rooney continued. “[Bukayo] Saka, I’m not having a goalkeeper. I’ll put [Moisés] Caicedo in there, he’d be the defensive one but he can attack as well.”
If having a team full of Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea players wasn’t surprising enough, Rooney’s final pick came from Man Utd’s biggest rivals, Liverpool.
“Mo Salah. So yeah, that would be my five players,” Rooney finished.
