The former Manchester United Skipper would walk into any World Eleven team. Like Evra, the Serbian had a tough time adjusting to life in the Premier League, but pretty soon, he was one of the best in the league in his position. With Vidic guarding the back, Manchester United went from strength to strength and won everything in their way.

The Serbian's no-nonsense defending and bravery is a part of the United folklore and he is the perfect man to lead this team.


#5 Center Back: Vincent Kompany (Belgium)

The Belgian is another world-class foreign defender to have played in the Premier League and he partners his long term rival Nemanja Vidic at the heart of this defense. Kompany was the steel at the back which enabled Manchester City to rise out of the shadow of their city rivals in recent years and just like Vidic, he is a brave warrior who rarely loses battles on the pitch.
