Former clubs United and Paris Saint-Germain were predictably among his selections, but his inclusion of AC Milan — who failed to qualify following a dismal 2014-15 Serie A campaign — left many fans baffled.
“Who do I fancy? Who do I want to win is a different story to who I think is going to win. Or maybe it’s not actually,” he told Sport360.
