We asked Sky Sports readers to pick their Manchester United XI after Nemanja Matic became Jose Mourinho's third major signing of the summer - and the results are in.

The Serb, who completed his £40m move from Chelsea on Monday, was the most popular pick for the holding role in a 4-3-3 formation, with Paul Pogba to his left and Ander Herrera to his right.

Romelu Lukaku was selected to lead the line following his £90m transfer from Everton, with Marcus Rashford and Henrikh Mkhitaryan proving more popular than Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata on the flanks.

David de Gea was a shoo-in in goal, with 99 per cent of selectors picking him ahead of Sergio Romero, while £39.5m defender Victor Lindelof was favoured to partner Eric Bailly at centre-back.

Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw were the most popular picks for the full-back positions, meaning there was no place in the team for either Daley Blind or Matteo Darmian.
