Manchester United ace Juan Mata names his ultimate XI of former team-mates, with John Terry, Frank Lampard, David Villa and Wayne Rooney included, but there's no room for Eden Hazard... while Spaniard opts for RONALD KOEMAN as his manager

Juan Mata has devised an ultimate XI of the best team-mates he has played alongside in his career - and put Ronald Koeman in charge of the fantasy team.

Mata, who is currently a backup squad member at Manchester United, has plied his trade with some of the most talented players in world football over the years.

After leaving Real Madrid's Castilla side, the Spanish midfielder got his career underway at Valencia before heading to Chelsea in 2011.

He spent two-and-a-half years with the Blues, winning the Champions League, FA Cup and Europa League, before heading to United in January 2014.
