Ahead of Arsenal's trip to Manchester United on Monday night, we challenged Gunners legend Paul Merson to pick his best combined XI from the two squads.
Merse is backing Olivier Giroud to lead his line, with Wayne Rooney and Alexis Sanchez preferred to Angel di Maria, Juan Mata and Mesut Ozil.
Danny Blind is in charge of protecting the back four rather than Francis Coquelin, but the creativity in central midfield comes from an Arsenal pairing.
