Manchester United and Belgium midfielder Marouane Fellaini has chosen his #One2Eleven of stars he has played with.

After a number of impressive displays during his five years with Everton, Fellaini moved to Old Trafford for £27.5m in 2013, being signed by former boss David Moyes.

The combative player has won 73 caps for Belgium since making his debut back in 2007 and he represented his country at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016.

Fellaini has gone with a 4-3-3 formation and told The Fantasy Football Club who makes his XI...

GOALKEEPER: David de Gea

He is a good goalkeeper, has a lot of ability, is good with his feet and his reflexes are very good. For me he is top five in the world and that's why I pick him.

RIGHT-BACK: Antonio Valencia

Also See:

He is quick, has good feet, can cross and defend well. He is a very strong guy, powerful and he is very fast with good technique. In the dressing room he is quiet, his English is not perfect, but we can communicate and he is a very good person.

CENTRE-BACK: Rio Ferdinand

He has very good feet for a defender, can run and bring the ball out of defence, has good technique and is also very tough. He talks a lot and is a leader, which is very important.

CENTRE-BACK: Sylvain Distin

First, he is a very good defender, good at heading and can pass well, especially on his left. Off the pitch he is an amazing person, likes to laugh, to joke and create a good atmosphere in the dressing room which is good for the team.

LEFT-BACK: Leighton Baines

I played with him for five years. He has a good left-foot, good cross, can give 10-15 assists a year. He scores goals, runs a lot, he can defend, attack, very tough and is a very good person. When he is in good form he is difficult to stop.

RIGHT MIDFIELD: Paul Pogba

He has good ability with the ball, is strong, he runs a lot and covers the ground and can shoot, especially from distance. He dances all the time, he puts a good atmosphere into the team, plays music in the dressing room and is very important.

CENTRE MIDFIELD: Wayne Rooney

He has a lot of experience, has scored a lot of goals, left, right foot, head and he runs a lot. His spirit is good, always which is important in the team. As a captain he talks a lot to the players, but in this team there are a lot of talkers.

LEFT MIDFIELD: Kevin De Bruyne

I play with him in the national team. He has good vision, can shoot from distance, especially free-kicks, can give assists and also scores goals. He is a very good player.

RIGHT WING: Ryan Giggs

He had many years at Manchester United, I played with him in the last year of his career. With the ball he can do everything, shoot, assist and also for his experience as well. He is a good person who likes to talk and help out his team-mates.

LEFT WING: Eden Hazard

Everyone knows his qualities, he wants the ball every time and when he runs is dangerous. He can shoot and can do everything.

STRIKER: Zlatan Ibrahimovic

He is a good player, scores goals, OK at the moment he is not scoring a lot of goals but he will, so I pick Zlatan for his experience and at any moment he can score goals, left, right-foot, head and I don't know how he does it (bicycle kicks). He brings plenty of height, technique, good ability and he is very strong. For a defender he is difficult to go against. He is not the fastest, but can still take the ball in any position.
