United players dominate this year's PFA Barclays Premier League Team of the Year.

The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) team is voted for by top-flight players, and six Reds made it into the side.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, defenders Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, and midfielders Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo all made the XI.

It is Ferdinand's fifth appearance in the side, while Vidic makes his third appearance and the second time Evra and van der Sar have been included. Ronaldo, on the other hand, has been named in the team in each of the last four years.

But none of those players can match Giggs, who picked up the prestigious PFA Player of the Year award and was named in the Team of the Year for the eighth time in his career.

Team in full is as follows:

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar
Defenders: (RB) Glen Johnson (Portsmouth), (CB), Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, (LB) Patrice Evra.
Midfielders: (RM) Cristiano Ronaldo, (CM) Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), (CM) Ryan Giggs, (LM) Ashley Young (Aston Villa).
Strikers: (CF) Fernando Torres (Liverpool), (CF) Nicolas Anelka (Chelsea).
