Yes, it will be very interesting to see ho FIFA will choose for Best XI squad.

I think Edwin van der Sar was fantastic during his final year in United, he should be named in the squad for sure.
Also, left back should be Patrice Evra, I always enjoy watching him play. In the center defense Vidic & Puyol and Valdes as a right back.
For midfield: Gareth Bale, fantastic young talent. Wesley Sneijder, Xavi & Ozil.
And of course Messi & Ronaldo, two world best players at the moment.
