Manchester United fans angered by exclusion of key player from Uefa team of the year

As with European football last season, Barcelona dominate the nominees for the best players across the continent this year.

Luis Enrique's side swept all before them last term and that superiority has been reflected in eight nominations for the Uefa Team of 2015. While that may be positive news for La Liga, things are not quite as happy looking for the Premier League as just five players from the top flight in England make the cut. Joe Hart represents Manchester City along with team-mate Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero while Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez make up the fivesome. We're a bit puzzled that David De Gea hasn't made the cut and so are lots of other football fans who can't understand how Hart made the cut, but the best goalkeeper in the Premier League last season, didn't. Maybe he has something to do with playing in the Europa League. https://twitter.com/TommoMarshall16/status/669185457239040000 https://twitter.com/Gazz_G/status/669183453422841856 https://twitter.com/_ThrillCollins/status/669168113334644737 https://twitter.com/jack_smitty101/status/669195569353592834 Five out of 40 players in total isn't all bad, but when you consider the money spent in the Premier League and the fact four teams every year reach at least the opening stages of the Champions League, it's not overwhelming positive and reflects the poor performance of English sides in the Champions League over the past few years. The dominance of Spanish and German teams seems to hold sway with Uefa, though it does not extend to a place on the 40-man list for Sergio Busquets. https://twitter.com/FCBarcelonaHome/status/669178106473648128 https://twitter.com/ElAficionadofcb/status/669171805693812736 https://twitter.com/NamanAniruddh/status/669192282982125568 The complete nominees are Goalkeepers (4): Joe Hart (Manchester City), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich), Denys Boyko (Dnipro) Defenders (12): Gerard Pique, Dani Alves, Javier Mascherano (FC Barcelona), David Alaba, Jerome Boateng (Bayern Munich), David Luiz, Thiago Silva (PSG), Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Diego Godin (Atletico Madrid), Ricardo Rodriguez (Wolfsburg), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid) Midfielders (12): Andres Iniesta, Ivan Rakitic (FC Barcelona), Paul Pogba, Claudio Marchisio (Juventus), James Rodriguez (Real Madrid), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Yevhen Konoplyanka, Grzegorz Krychowiak (Sevilla), Hakan Calhanoglu (Bayer Leverkusen), Arturo Vidal (Bayern Munich), Marco Verratti (PSG) Forwards (12): Lionel Messi, Neymar, Luis Suarez (FC Barcelona), Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich), Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (PSG), Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid), Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal), Alvaro Morata (Juventus)
