Messi, Laudrup and Pablo Hernandez includes one Leeds United man in his fantasy six-a-side team

Pablo Hernandez has named his fantasy six-a-side team and there's one Leeds United name you may not expect among the game's greats.

The veteran Spanish midfielder was asked to pick six players, with six different criteria for each player, which is how he ended up with quite an eclectic line-up.

In the category of a current team-mate, Hernandez opted for cult favourite Ezgjan Alioski to go alongside the likes of Barcelona's Lionel Messi (a player he's played against), Juan Mata (a former team-mate at Valencia) and Manchester City's David Silva (another player who plays in his position).

In the LUTV video, Hernandez also revealed he idolised Barcelona and Real Madrid legend Michael Laudrup growing up. United fans of an older vintage may recognise some of the Leeds playmaker's technical ability in the legendary Dane.

His former Valencia colleague and namesake Pablo Piatti completed the line-up.
