Manchester United are at the Red Bull Arena tonight taking on the MLS All-Stars – including former Premier League favourites Thierry Henry and David Beckham.
And that got us thinking – what would an English Premier League All-Star team look like?
We’d love to see a Premier League All-Star Team take on the reigning Champions in a pre-season match-up every year – a bit like the Community Shield, but more entertaining and relevant.
But, given that players can’t play for both squads, the All-Star XI would have to exclude any members of the team that wins the Premier League – which, in the case of the 2010-2011 season was Manchester United.
Given that one simple rule, here’s our best guess at what a Premier League All-Star XI would look like, and – of course – what football boots they wear!
Goalkeeper:
Joe Hart – Manchester City – Umbro Geometra Pro
Defenders:
Bacary Sagna – Arsenal – Puma PowerCat 1.10
Vincent Kompany – Manchester City – Nike T90 Laser III
Brede Hangeland – Fulham – Umbro Speciali
Ashley Cole – Chelsea – Nike Tiempo Legend IV
Midfielders:
Samir Nasri – Arsenal – adidas F50 adiZero
Rafael Van Der Vaart – Tottenham Hotspur – Nike CTR360 II
Charlie Adam – Liverpool – adidas adiPower Predator
Gareth Bale – Tottenham Hotspur – adidas F50 adiZero
Strikers:
Carlos Tevez – Manchester City – Nike CTR360 II
Didier Drogba – Chelsea – Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly III
But as always, we want to know who would make the cut in your All-Star XI.
Remember, they can’t be from Manchester United!
Rooney and Hernandez as the strikers!
Also Nani on right midfieldÂ
@Gabriel good picks but read the last line again:
“Remember, they can’t be from Manchester United!”
Robin Van Persie as a forward. Â I’m not sure if he would go ahead of Tevez or Drogba by looking at the whole season. but when he was healthy, his strike rate was very good. Â
They have made the team without Manchester United players as United are the champions, and they can’t play for both sides…

im sorry but drogba wasn’t even in the top 10 of the scorers in the premier league, i would have had Van Persie ahead of him
What about Bent? Does Ashley Young count because he wasn’t with Man U when they won the league but arrived in summer?
realistic is a fucking idiot
Reina has no business!!!
I say put the EPL all stars vs barcelonaFC. Â That would be a great match! Â I mean MANU cant even compete with FCB but im sure the EPL all stars would put up a good fight, might even win….
premier league english vs internationals would be much more entertaining.
this is bad. very bad. NO VAN DER SAR??!? NO VAN PERISE??!?
i am so sad.Â
Urip youre an idiot  the premier league english team is terrible   its practically the english nationqal team which is practically a joke hahaah   I say FCB vs EPL all all stars  thats a much better game than EPL english all stars haha  Youre a fool Urip and your answer is totally biased
