Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes picks two ex-Chelsea stars in dream five-a-side team
As reported by Football.london, Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes has selected two former Chelsea superstars in his dream five-a-side Premier League team.
Fernandes joined Manchester United in January earlier this year and has made quite the impact in a short time at the club. The Portuguese will take the field against us this weekend when we face off against the Red Devils in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at the Wembley Stadium.
Ahead of the game, Fernandes was asked to pick his dream five-a-side Portuguese Premier League team. And, the 25-year-old, surprisingly opted to pick two former Chelsea stars, who he enjoyed watching play as a youngster. (h/t Football.london)
The two ex-Blues’ stars that Fernandes selected in his five-a-side dream team were defender Ricardo Carvalho and midfielder Deco. Explaining his selection, the Portuguese international said (h/t Football.london):
“Ricardo Carvalho in defence. He’s one of the best defenders we’ve had in Portugal of all time. I’d put Deco. For Portugal, he’s side by side with Rui Costa as one of the best number 10s we’ve had, so I’ll put Deco in for sure.”
Apart from the aforementioned ex-Chelsea duo, Fernandes picked current Wolves’ goalkeeper Rui Patricio as his goalkeeper. He also opted for another Wolves’ star, Joao Moutinho, in the middle of the park. (h/t Football.london)
Interestingly, the only player he picked from Manchester United was ex-Red Devil Cristiano Ronaldo. (h/t Football.london)
