Smalling pelters from teammates after naming himself in best Man Utd XI

Published on: 30 July 2017

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has named his best United XI - including himself in the team.

The England star, 27, has been happy to overlook the likes of Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister and Jaap Stam to put himself in the line-up.

He said to fellow defender Phil Jones: “I think I need to stay because I think you've got to back yourself.

“I played with both of them (Ferdinand and Vidic) so I know their strengths and weaknesses."

On leaving out Gary Neville, Smalling added: “He's not (going to be happy). He's going to be tweeting about it."

United team-mate Juan Mata, also picked a team to celebrate Virgin Money's first year as the club's official UK financial services partner.

And the Spaniard said: “But this is a joke? It has to be a joke. So Chris put himself in? Then I'm going to take him off!"

Jones also added: “Chris, I'm sorry mate but we're all coming out of here."
