Sergio Reguilon has selected his ultimate five-a-side team, and he's filled it with Spanish players!

The Manchester United full-back is trusting his fellow countrymen and we're sure you'd agree that this line-up would be difficult to get the ball off!

The question was posed to the defender by George, in the UK, during our latest Fans' Q&A.

Fans' Q&A: Sergio Reguilon

Sergio Reguilon answers a wide range of questions from supporters in our popular feature...

1. SERGIO RAMOS

There's no keeper in this team, so maybe Reguilon's namesake could play rush goalie? He'd likely keep things tight at the back regardless, with his uncompromising defensive style and a win-at-all-costs approach.

After iniitally leaving in 2005 to become a legend with Real Madrid, the centre-back has returned to Sevilla. By winning everything there is to win in the game with Real and Spain, he has clearly been one of the finest defenders of his generation.

2. ANDRES INIESTA

A gifted magician on the ball in midfield, the Barcelona legend is currently plying his trade with Emirates in the UAE Pro League, following a spell at Vissel Kobe in Japan.

The scorer of the winning goal in the 2010 World Cup final against the Netherlands is a highly skilled operator who would certainly excel in small-sided matches as well.

3. XAVI

Often Iniesta's partner in Barcelona's brilliant midfield, he is the current coach of the Catalan giants, and took charge of them for the two Europa League games against United last season.

A quite superb playmaker who was a stalwart for club and country, he ended his playing career with Al Sadd, a team he also managed.

4. DAVID VILLA

Another key member of Spain's successful sides, the striker was the top scorer at Euro 2008, when his country lifted the trophy. He also became Spain's learning marksman in World Cup finals history and hit 59 goals in total at international level.

Now retired, he played most club matches for Valencia but had spells with, among others, Real Zaragoza, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and New York City.

5. DAVID SILVA

The last spot in Reguilon's team goes to another master craftsman in the shape of Manchester City legend Silva. A shrewd signing from Valencia in 2010, he earned respect across the Premier League and beyond for the way he adapted to the division.

The left-footed genius retired earlier this year, after joining Real Sociedad in La Liga, and he has 125 caps with Spain to his name.

We think this five-a-side team would be pretty hard to beat and masters of keeping possession!
