Van dijk over Ferdinand vidic carvalho and big vinnie ( vidic was absolutely unreal )
Evra over Ashley Cole who was by far the best left back in the world for a number of years
Salah over Rooney who was again one of the best players in the world for a number of years and won everything
My head hurts

My all time prem XI, I must admit though there are players that probably should be in it but massive predjuce stops me from selecting them. What can you do...

You missed Linderoth off the team. Easy mistake to make.

Game of opinions isn’t it? I’ve never known a defender as unflappable as Van Dijk in 30+ years. He’ll probably win the Ballon D’Or too which puts him into a category of his own.
Vidic and Rio were good but too prone to error for me. If anyone was going to displace Van Dijk in my line up, it would have been Adams. Again, I believe Evra offered more than Cole both defensively and offensively.
And Salah, though it pains me to say it, has broken all goalscoring records as a wide player. Rooney was excellent but if you asked 100 fans of various clubs to name their all-time Prem XI, Salah would make it in more than Rooney.
Rooney wasn’t a goalscorer. He was an all-rounder and an excellent player but he wasn’t as creative as Bergkamp, wasn’t as prolific as Salah and wasn’t as consistent as Shearer or Aguero, all of whom would be ahead of him in the queue for most people I suspect.

Vidic was error prone? Apart from Torres he was absolutely unreal
Achieved far more witg United than vvd has with Liverpool ( granted he had got time to achieve more)
Not having vvd makes your all time prem team after 1 season though that's daft giving the longevity of the ones I mentioned
Can see your point on evra the he was boss but cole was the best in the world so would pick him myself
Salah isn't even their best player for me I rate mane more, salah is quality absolutely quality but mane does more in the bigger games. Rooney aguero drogba would all be there over him for me
Also mate Rooney wasn't a scorer? He's England's and the premiership all time leafing scorer mate hahahaha

I see what you have done there. That is why I had to have Evra instead of Cole in mine. And also G.Nev, I hate him as a player and person but he did run the full length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the RS fans and that has earned him some serious brownie points.

This is Van Dijk’s 3rd season with them, mate. And to get to 2 CL finals in 2 years, with their defence as bad as it was before him, it’s not a reactionary decision based on one year.
Vidic made plenty of errors leading to goals, not just with Torres. For me, he benefitted from being part of a strong unit under Ferguson. Very good defender, don’t get me wrong. Just not as good as Van Dijk, Terry or Adams for me who are out on their own.
Salah has one of the best (if not, the best) goals per minute ratio of any player in Premier League history. You’d struggle not to include him, in my opinion. Insane goal return for a wide player.
Rooney is only the record goalscorer because he played so many games here and spent most of his career in the Premier League. In reality, he was never a goalscorer, I don’t think he’s even in the top 20 PL strikers in terms of goals per minutes.
Across 16 seasons in this country, he only managed more than 20 goals in all competitions THREE times. That’s appalling when you compare them alongside Kane, Aguero, Henry, Van Nistelrooy, and Salah numbers.
Very good, reliable player with incredible energy who was part of a great United team but nowhere near creative or clinical enough to be considered in the top 5 PL strikers of all time, probably not even the top 10.
