Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has adopted a slapdash approach to picking a five-a-side team by refusing to select a goalkeeper.
Rooney was taking part in Manchester United's 'training talk' series and was asked about who he would select in his ideal five-a-side team.
The England skipper instantly mused over whether picking a goalkeeper was needed and ultimately opted to ignore the specialist and crucial position.
Rooney, choosing a team to play alongside himself, said: "Do you have to have a goalkeeper? If not, I’ll go for Angel [di Maria], [Radamel] Falcao, Robin [van Persie] and [Juan] Mata."
The Manchester United star's line-up is also attack heavy and features no defenders or even central or defensive midfielders.

"I’d probably say Giggsy. I remember him scoring a volley a few years ago", the striker said.
