SUBS: Tim Krul Mark Wright Luke Young Matt Holland Gabriel Agbonlahor This team is built with strength, pace, power, experience, big game players and competition from the bench. I've had a real tough time deciding on a couple of places in this starting XI. In terms of tactic and formation diversity, I've gone for overlapping full backs to terrorise the opposition. No team will want those four players running at them. They will be providing the assists for the only Englishman ever to win the European golden shoe for being the top league goalscorer in the continent. The other one is Michael Owen, he needs no introduction. At the back I have Nigel Martyn in goal. He made the PFA team of the year when United won the treble - ahead of Schemichael. World Cup winner Frank Lebœuf and United legend Gary Pallister complete the defence. Ahead of them is the rock Michael Essien and another who needs no introduction - Steven Gerrard. I can easily move to a 3-5-2, 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 as my subs allow that. I will be bringing on Tim Krul for the penalty shootouts!
