By Adam Smith

Twitter has revealed the top 10 most popular Premier League moments on its platform this season - but which got the world tweeting most?

We also have the top 10 most discussed managers and a most mentioned XI, in which Manchester United's bit-part captain Wayne Rooney makes an uncommon start.

MOST MENTIONED MANAGERS

Two managers that failed to lead their respective teams to a top-four finish were the most popular topics of conversations out of all Premier League managers this season.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was the most popular, followed by his old Arsenal adversary Arsene Wenger.

Chelsea's Antonio Conte led the Blues to the title in his first season in charge, but was only the third most discussed boss.

Manchester United's David de Gea sparked the most conversations on Twitter to claim his starting place between the sticks.

Twitter have used a 3-4-3 formation but binned wing-backs to shoehorn the top players, with Chelsea's Eden Hazard on the left and Liverpool's Phillipe Coutinho on the right.

Unsurprisingly, Manchester United's world-record signing Paul Pogba claims his place in central midfield alongside Blues' PFA Player of the Year N'Golo Kante.

Two United strikers with uncertain futures at the club feature up front, in Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney, while Tottenham's Golden Boot winner Harry Kane completes the XI.
