Agbonlahor DROPS Casemiro from Man Utd vs Villa XI for 'not great on the ball'

Gabriel Agbonlahor has raised eyebrows by omitting two multiple time Champions League winners from his combined Aston Villa and Man United XI.

The former Villa striker turned talkSPORT pundit was responding to a message from a listener which said that no Villains player gets into United's first XI.

Agbonlahor was having none of the claim and quickly went about naming a number of players which he thinks would get in.

'I think Watkins would get in anywhere before [(Rasmus) Hojlund,' he said.

'Goalkeeper, Emi Martinez before Andre Onana. Martinez is the best in the world, won the World Cup. Simple.

'Centre-half, either Tyrone Mings or Ezri Konsa gets in ahead of Raphael Varane. Varane's not great on the ball, mate.

'He's injury prone... Varane's injuries, he doesn't play often, he is not the Varane that won the World Cup, is he?'

'How about midfield, we've got Douglas Luiz, John McGinn, we are blessed.'

He continued: 'Left-back, I am going Luke Shaw over Alex Moreno, who is a very good player.

'Lisandro Martinez is my left-sided centre-half. Konsa my right-sided centre-half, no Varane.

'Right-back. Aaron Wan-Bissaka. I really like him, I am not too fussed about my right-back being the best at crossing. No one gets past him.

'Midfield is quite simple for me. Casemiro, very good player, not at his best though and does not make my midfield.

'I've got Douglas Luiz, outstanding player, and John McGinn. In front of them, in a free role, Bruno Fernandes. He has to be there ahead of Emi Buendia.

'Marcus Rashford on the left, I think he picks himself quite easily. And then on the right, very easy, you've got Antony, who can't do anything.

'So I have got Moussa Diaby. Mate, I have watched this guy and he is unbelievable. You will see this season, he is frighteningly quick, left-foot, he will get many goals and assists this season.

'And up front is quite easy, Watkins. Who you going to choose? Wout Weghorst, who's gone back?

'Anthony Martial? Hojlund will be a good player but he is unproven in the Premier League at the moment.'
