Manchester United forward, Bruno Fernandes, has named a star-studded five-a-side team, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba, drawing on players he has shared the pitch with during his career. Alongside Mata, Fernandes selected Paul Pogba, a choice that came with glowing praise. Fernandes labelled Pogba the most complete midfielder he has seen in a long time, recalling how dominant the Frenchman was during his Juventus peak. Cristiano Ronaldo was an automatic inclusion, with Fernandes calling him the game’s ultimate goalscorer. The final five — Pepe, Juan Mata, Paul Pogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Antonio Di Natale — was chosen as much for chemistry and relationships as raw ability.
