Wednesday 12 February 2020 18:44, UK
We asked you to pick your combined XI from Manchester United's 1999 Treble-winning side and today's dominant Liverpool team, and the results are in...
You picked six Manchester United players in the combined XI, including the entire four-man midfield that helped Sir Alex Ferguson's side to the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the 1998/99 season.
However, only one United defender makes the side, with both of Liverpool's full-backs involved, and an Anfield forward line of Sadio Mane and Mo Salah.
Peter Schmeichel won the battle of the goalkeepers by quite some margin, while Virgil van Dijk partners Jaap Stam in a centre-back partnership to be feared.

Steve McClaren's view: Only Van Dijk
Virgil van Dijk is the only Liverpool player to make Steve McClaren's combined XI
Speaking on Sky Sports News, Steve McClaren, who was Ferguson's assistant manager in 1999, believes only Netherlands centre-half Virgil van Dijk would fit into United's 1999 XI...
"Virgil van Dijk next to Jaap Stam, that would be invincible. Nobody would get past them.
"But for me, seriously, only Van Dijk would get into that team. When you look at that Manchester United team, that is leadership throughout the whole team, and leadership was the key.
"Liverpool are developing that now."
