Arsenal star picks two Manchester United legends in dream five-a-side team

Arsenal full-back Cedric Soares has named two Manchester United greats in his dream Portuguese five-a-side team - with his side including no defenders.

The Gunners ace, who has made 59 appearances for the London club since signing from Southampton, uploaded his team to Instagram on Thursday, and there was room for a couple of Reds greats.

Cedric named Rui Patricio, Joao Moutinho and Ricardo Quaresma in his five-a-side team, before completing his side with the inclusions of Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo.

While Moutinho, Patricio and Ronaldo were all away on international duty in Qatar, Cedric was part of Arsenal's warm-weather training camp an featured in the two friendlies against Lyon and AC Milan. Mikel Arteta's side currently hold a five-point lead over reigning champions Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

Nani made 230 appearances for United during his time at Old Trafford, with the winger registering 41 goals and 73 assists. The Portuguese ace won a total of 12 trophies with the Reds, including four Premier League titles and the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo played for the Reds on 346 occasions across his two spells at the club, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner scoring 145 goals and assisting 64 more. He won 10 trophies with the Reds, including three Premier League titles and the Champions League.

The 37-year-old departed United last month following his controversial interview with Piers Morgan. Ronaldo criticised the club's owners, his then-manager Erik ten Hag and several of his former teammates. He also claimed that he had been 'betrayed' by United.

Ronaldo's exit from the club meant that he became a free agent for the very first time in his career. Saudi outfit Al Nassr have been installed as the leading contenders to secure the former Juventus man's signature, with multiple reports suggesting that they have offered him a contract worth €200million (£173m) per season.
