Manchester United top XI in Premier League Players' World Cup

Manchester United players dominate this eleven of the best World Cup stars from the Premier League, while Manchester City draw…

GK: Alisson (Liverpool, Brazil) Alisson and Jordan Pickford have the highest save percentage (83.3%) of any goalkeeper remaining in the tournament except Andries Noppert (88, 2%), but the Liverpool star has made some particularly memorable saves, made all the more difficult as they have barely been involved in the four games Brazil have played so far.

RB: Diogo Dalot (Manchester United, Portugal)Joao Cancelo could easily be in this squad, but Diogo Dalot replaced him for Portugal against Switzerland and the Manchester City star could struggle to find his place again. Dalot, and Raphael Guerreiro on the opposite flank, caused all sorts of problems for the Swiss.

CB: Harry Maguire (Manchester United, Portugal) Yes, he has a big head, but he has an even bigger bottle. To be so roundly criticized by almost everyone and to perform so well on the world stage is a great honor for him and Gareth Southgate.

He defended very well the old-fashioned way, but he also had the resources to dribble the press and lash precise diagonals.

CB: Thiago Silva (Chelsea, Brazil) People say how great it would be for Lionel Messi to win the World Cup, but it would also be quite the moment if this guy did. His absence for Brazil against Germany in 2014 cost them seven goals and there doesn't seem to be a difference between his football now and then, with the same swagger and reading of the game clear to all. And what about that pass to Richarlison? Have mercy on me.

LB: Nayef Aguerd (West Ham, Morocco) "Ohhh, he's the guy we spent 30 million euros on this summer," continued West Ham fans, who may have missed the Aguerd's only Premier League appearance before flying to Qatar. . They will be heavily impressed with the 26-year-old, who, along with Romain Saiss, was absurdly good in the last 16 clash against Spain. He's not a left-back, but he's played there six times in his career, so shut up.

CM: Casemiro (Manchester United, Brazil) ""Over the hill", they said, "Not as good as Declan Rice", they said, "I can't pass it", they said," said the people who like to make up derogatory things people said about Casemiro before he came to the Premier League. He proved no critics wrong at this World Cup because he had no critics, or at least no critics worth listening to.

AM: Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, Portugal) It's something to be the best striker in a team with so much attacking talent. Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Rafael Leao, Goncalo Ramos, are we missing anyone? No, we can confirm that we are not missing anyone. Bruno Fernandes was the pick of the pack and quite possibly the best player representing the Premier League in Qatar.

AM: Alexis Mac Allister (Brighton, Argentina) "Juventus", said Lionel Messi, pointing to Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes, then "Inter Milan, Roma, Fiorentina, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United", the said the Argentine legend, explaining to a Qatari dignitary where his team members play their club's football.

"It's weird," he says, pulling Emiliano Martinez into a headache and ruffling his hair. 'Aston Villa! Imagine that. Then he looks at Alexis MacAllister, squints and purses his lips, trying to remember. “Is it Fulham? No, it's even weirder than that..."

Let's face it, Mac Allister is unlikely to stay at Brighton any longer, especially if he wins the World Cup. A World Cup winner cannot play for Brighton; it is not allowed.
