Man United's Bruno Fernandes names two former Chelsea stars in his dream five-a-side team

Bruno Fernandes has named two Chelsea stars in a dream Portuguese Premier League five-a-side team.

The attacking midfielder has been in stunning form since joining Manchester United in January, helping the Red Devils into the race for the top four.

Despite rivalling Chelsea for a spot in the Champions League, he clearly still has some fond memories of watching the Blues as a youngster.

When asked by Budweiser to name his all-time Premier League Portuguese five-a-side team, Fernandes named two former Stamford Bridge heroes.

Ricardo Carvalho and Deco were both selected for Fernandes' team, which looks a very strong one on paper.

He said: "We have such good players in the Premier League.

"First I put Rui Patricio in goal, then Ricardo Carvalho in defence.

"He's one of the best defenders we've had in Portugal of all time.

"Joao Moutinho to build up a little bit because I think he's one of the smartest players we have.

"After, I'd put Deco. For Portugal, he's side by side with Rui Costa as one of the best number 10s we've had, so I'll put Deco in for sure.

"In front, I don't need to know, it's Cristiano of course.

"Carvalho can cover side to side so I put him alone in defence.

"After, you've got Moutinho to organise your game.

"You have Deco to give the balls to Cristiano and then you have Cristiano to score.

"I think it's complete, the team, you know."
