Gary Neville has chosen his all-time Premier League team XI with a twist - he wasn't allowed to pick any Manchester United player.
Neville sat down with fellow Sky Sports pundits Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher for The Overlap Live last week and was presented an interesting task.
The former United full-back wasn't allowed to choose any of his former teammates or current United stars and came up with a controversial side.

You can check the entire team out below and a few picks were met with boos from the O2 Apollo crowd.
Goalkeeper: Alisson (Liverpool, 2019-present)

Central defence: Virgil van Dijk (Southampton, 2015-2018 and Liverpool, 2018-present)
Central defence: John Terry (Chelsea, 1998-2017)
Left-back: Ashley Cole (Arsenal, 1999-2006 and Chelsea, 2006-2014)

Attacking midfield: David Silva (Manchester City, 2010-2020)

Neville's defence includes two players who are still active in Cesar Azpilicueta and Virgil van Dijk while goalkeeper Alisson is Liverpool number one.
"I don't think they heard that I can't pick United players!" Neville repeated as the boos started.

Neville said he could've gone for Petr Cech in net and that got a big cheer from the audience, but he said Cech 'wasn't for him'.
As he ran down the defence the audience continued to booed and Neville joked "Who the f**k do you want in?!"
Steven Gerrard partners Patrick Vieira in midfield and that saw Carragher say, "I can't believe he's picked Gerrard over Scholes!"
In attack he went for Thierry Henry, David Silva, Mohamed Salah and Alan Shearer with many annoyed by Shearer's inclusion.
The former Newcastle United forward is the Premier League's all-time top goalscorer with 260 goals, but Didier Drogba was a popular name being shouted.
Neville shrugged those suggestions off and believes Shearer is worthy of his spot in the team.
