This is quite a team and could rival anybody\u2019s five-a-side team, and it looks even better when considering the players who missed out, such as Raphael Varane, Edinson Cavani, Marcus Rashford and of course Fernandes himself.<\/p>\n
Why Bruno Fernandes picked Paul Pogba in dream team<\/p>\n
One pick, which could be a surprising one considering potential alternatives, was Pogba, who Fernandes put as a midfielder in his team.<\/p>\n
But in the interview with Ferdinand, Fernandes explained why he picked the Frenchman.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has everything. He could do everything as a midfielder. He\u2019s the most complete midfielder that I\u2019ve seen for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is no shock, as Pogba was a very special footballer at his best, completely unplayable and the best midfielder the club has had post Sir Alex Ferguson, outside of Fernandes.<\/p>\n
