Leeds United left-back Barry Douglas has picked Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves in his dream 5-a-side team – as well as ex-Galatasaray midfielder Wesley Sneijder.

The 29-year-old was told by Wolves that he could leave the club despite starring in the Midlands outfit’s promotion last season, despite scoring five goals and creating another 15 assists.

The Scotland international remained at Wolves for only one season after joining the club from Turkish side Konyaspor in the summer of 2017.

However, the ex-Wolves man still has fond memories of the club and he picked 21-year-old midfielder Neves in his dream 5-a-side team, as well as two Inter Milan legends and a Real Madrid goalkeeper.

Portugal international Neves has continued his excellent form in the Premier League, scoring two goals in his 12 outings against Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.

Alongside Neves, Douglas ignored the likes of David De Gea and Manuel Neuer to choose Keylor Navas, while Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were nowhere to be seen as Samuel Eto’o and Wesley Sneijder were chosen.

Sneijder played for Leeds’ bitter enemies Galatasaray for more than four years, clocking up 175 appearances in all competitions for the Turkish side.

Douglas has been lapping up the sun in Dubai with teammates Liam Cooper and Adam Forshaw during the international break, but is next in action on Saturday as Leeds play host to Bristol City.
