As reported by The Sun, David de Gea was close to making Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s coveted XI before having his name scribbled from the list.
The Man United goalkeeper made the bench but his name looked to have then been crossed out and replaced by Brazilian ‘keeper Julio Cesar.
Gianluigi Buffon was named as his number one choice in goal, behind a back four of Lillian Thuram, Thiago Silva, Alessandro Nesta and Maxwell.
Pavel Nedved, Patrick Vieira and Xavi make up the midfield, with Leo Messi and Ronaldinho providing the stardust up front.
Zlatan rounded off the team by putting himself centre-forward, with Andreas Iniesta, Clarence Seedorf, Fabio Cannavaro and Gennaro Gattuso joining Cesar on the bench.
No United players were fortunate to make Zlatan’s squad, leaving De Gea the only one to come close.
Ibrahimovic spent two seasons at United in the twilight of his career, scoring 28 goals in his first season and leading United to League Cup and Europa League glory.
