THE best Premier League team of all time has been decided by Chat GPT – but some controversial picks have left many fans fuming.
No current player makes the cut, while eight-time winners Manchester City have ZERO representatives.
ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot, chose six former Manchester United stars and went with a 4-3-3 formation.
But that has presented a problem in midfield as Roy Keane, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are included.
History proves that Paul Scholes is grouped alongside the former Chelsea star and the Liverpool icon as the three best midfielders ever.
Eyebrows were raised for Gerrard’s inclusion over Scholes, with one fan saying: “You simply cannot be in the starting XI if you didn’t win the Premier League.”
There is also the question of where Kevin De Bruyne fits into this – who was omitted entirely.
And fans were quick to pick up on his absence, as one stated: “Where’s De Bruyne? He’s the greatest ever Premier League central attacking midfielder.”
There is also a controversial pick in defence with Gary Neville selected instead of six-time Prem winner Kyle Walker.
In fact, zero Man City players are represented – though Lampard did spend one season at The Etihad towards the end of his career.

Rio Ferdinand is partnered with John Terry in central defence, whose one-time Chelsea team-mate Ashley Cole features at left-back.
Peter Schmeichel is chosen between the sticks with another United icon, Cristiano Ronaldo, playing right-wing.
Many fans highlighted the need for Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah – who has 157 goals in 263 appearances – to be included.
One wrote: “Salah over Ronaldo. He’s played his prime years in England.”
While a second X user hilariously added: “AI is drunk”, before another said: “Your ChatGPT isn’t functioning properly.”
Meanwhile, record 13-time Premier League winner Ryan Giggs starts on the left.
On this, a fan wrote: “There’s no all time Premier League XI without Wayne Rooney.”
Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer missed out, with Thierry Henry fronting the line.
Patrick Vieira and Eden Hazard can also consider themselves unlucky not to make the cut.
There was also a lot of competition for places in attack as Rooney, Dennis Bergkamp and Sergio Aguero just missed out.
