Are there any surprises who make a combined team?

00:00 And in terms of the derby, comparing the two teams, this always seems to come around when
00:05 two big sides meet, but could you see any combined XI, could you see any Man United
00:11 players fitting into a combined XI with City at the moment?
00:16 You and I were just talking about it. I think the only player who really can justifiably
00:21 say that they should be in that team is Luke Shaw, left back. I mean, definitely, obviously,
00:26 the man said he doesn't really have a left back. That definitely strengthens his argument.
00:31 But I actually do think Luke Shaw is a really top quality player. I think he's one of the
00:35 best full backs in the league. And obviously, I'd injured at the moment. And you see the
00:41 impact on United when he does and doesn't play. So he'd probably be the only one I think
00:46 I would have in. What about yourself? What would you do, Charles? Can you make a case
00:51 for anyone else?
00:52 Yeah, I think it's tough to make a case this season, especially Luke Shaw is probably the
00:57 standout. I'd say before De Bruyne came back, that maybe Bruno Fernandes, because he was
01:02 on a good run of form, really. But you would have Harland over Hoyland, you'd have Rodri
01:08 over McManoo or whoever's in that midfield. And maybe a case for Martinez. If he hadn't
01:14 been injured for a large chunk of this season, he could have had a very good season again
01:18 under 10-0. But yeah, I think there's just too many City players who trump United at
01:24 the moment.
