Sir David Beckham snubbed the likes of Ronaldinho and Paul Scholes when naming his outrageous five-a-side team of former teammates.

Beckham enjoyed a legendary professional career, playing for some of the biggest clubs in the world.

He made his name at Manchester United before signing for Real Madrid in a 'Galactico' transfer.

The England icon also played for AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain before calling time on his iconic career.

He shared the dressing room with some of the best players of his generation, including Ronaldinho and Scholes.

But he failed to mention either player when naming his dream five-a-side of the best players he played with - excluding a goalkeeper.

Beckham began with ex-Real teammate Roberto Carlos.

Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents, he said: "I would have to say Roberto Carlos because he can play in defence and attack."

Beckham then named Maldini, having played together at Milan, which caught Ferdinand by surprise.

"Did you play with him?" He asked, before joking: "I thought I had a chance to get in your team."

The 50-year-old continued by naming Zinedine Zidane, saying: "You play him the ball anywhere on the pitch, any height, any level, any speed, he'd bring it down like it was just one of those things."

He then opted for Ronaldo Nazario, who enjoyed a ultra-prolific spell with Real.

"Next one would have to be one of the greatest and most natural goal-scorers I've ever seen... Ronaldo."

Beckham concluded with his former Man United captain Roy Keane, hailing his leadership and ability to tackle.

"I'm going to say Keaney... you need a leader and you need someone that's going to actually tackle and fight."
