Shoot!’s ultimate Manchester United-Everton five-a-side team

Idrissa Gueye

Every five-a-side team needs pace, energy, and an unquenchable thirst to work for the team in the middle of the park, which is everything Everton’s Idrissa Gueye is as a footballer.

The Senegalese international was second only to N’Golo Kante in terms of tackles and interceptions made in last season’s Premier League, which is why the 27-year-old earned a move from relegated Aston Villa last summer.

And he has now overtaken Kante on top of the tackles made list this term, making 112 to Kante’s 101 so far this season, and although he was far from his best against Liverpool at the weekend, Gueye has been a key part of Koeman’s midfield this season.

His desire to cover every blade of grass and retain possession under intense pressure sees him just get the nod ahead of United’s Ander Herrera, who also has been outstanding this season.
