6:03 Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher reveal their Premier League teams of the decade
“Kante is a World Cup-winner, he’d get in a world XI possibly now. He won the league at Leicester, then came to Chelsea and won the league and was probably the best player in both years. He’s got to go in there.
“The one who I was very close to putting in was Kevin de Bruyne. I think if he hadn’t got injured a year or so ago and had another 12 months of real quality he maybe would have pushed me with Yaya Toure.
Carragher’s Bale choice explained
On Bale, Carragher explained: “The reason I went for Bale is because he wasn’t in the league for a long time across the full decade, but he won PFA player of the year twice and young player of the year.
“It’s a big thing to win PFA Player of the Year. To do it twice in three years is unbelievable, and it then got him the move [to Real Madrid] for the world record fee.
“I think what he did in those three or four years, being the best player in the league for two out of three years, is something special.”
Neville’s three-pronged attack
Neville’s choice of three strikers was questioned by Carragher but he was undeterred.
4:54 Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher pick their Premier League goals of the decade
“I love Aguero to bits and that’s why I put him in,” he said. “But ultimately if you were telling me to pick a front two, I would want Kane and Suarez. Suarez is a phenomenon as a player, he’s absolutely unbelievable.
“I’m very comfortable that I’ve got the best players that I’ve seen in the last 10 years in the Premier League in those forward areas.”
