Manchester United vs Villarreal Combined XI for Europa League final

Villarreal CM Dani Parejo

Dani Parejo has quietly had another pretty good season. It just seems as if the man doesn’t age. He was easily one of the steals of the season, because Villarreal didn’t even pay 15 million euros for him.

He has been very good sitting with Manu Trigueros in the middle of the park, and he easily deserves this selection over other Manchester United players like Scott McTominay — who has been good, but not as good as Parejo.

Manchester United CM Fred

Fred has been pretty good this season. We’ve seen people criticising him back in the past about inconsistency and not showing up when needed, but he has improved quite a bit since and has been showing more and more consistency in these past couple of seasons.

This season, he has played a good chunk of United’s games and has impressed in most, if not all. He gets the nod over Manu Trigueros.

Manchester United CAM Bruno Fernandes

I don’t really have to explain my stance with this option, but I’m going to anyway. Bruno Fernandes has been one of the best midfielders in the world since he joined Manchester United. I’m talking top 5 at the very least. He’s been winning club awards and league awards ever since he joined the club.

He’s been so important for Manchester United. You can see the staggering differences from before he joined the club. To say he’s had a big impact on the team would be an understatement. The easiest pick in the team.
