Manager Louis van Gaal's side is anchored by a back-three that features Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk, Manchester City's Nathan Ake and Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt. There's further talent in the wing backs, too, as Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries provides an attacking threat on the right-hand side while the experienced Daley Blind provides a more defensive option on the left.'
