PSG star Neymar has been asked who he would pick when creating the “perfect player” and he named two ex-Manchester United players.
For the past few years, the Brazillian forward has been considered to be one of the leading players in world football.
Neymar was recently asked by reporters who he would include if he was to build the “perfect player” from the ground up.
Every Premier League club’s statistical player of the season
As cited by Manchester Evening News, the ex-Barcelona star mentioned former Man United players Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in his answer:
“Oh man…the perfect player?! [Should I consider myself or not?] I can consider myself, good,” Neymar replied.
“I think the physicality of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimović’s elasticity, the heading game of Sergio Ramos, Mbappe’s speed, left leg of Messi, my right foot, Lewandowski’s positioning, the tackling of Kanté and the creation in the middle field of Verratti.”
“I wonder whether [United’s starting XI against Fulham] could actually be Man Utd’s Europa League final team. It wouldn’t surprise me.
“Rashford on the right doesn’t work and I think Pogba will play. I think Cavani will play up top, I think the midfield three is set.
“And I wonder if Solskjaer has decided that (Axel) Tuanzebe will play in that Harry Maguire position.
“I’m nervous about Rashford being left out but I think Greenwood is better there than Rashford. The balance is better. And I think (David) De Gea will start in goal. You think about the service he’s given to the club.”
Speaking on including Rashford in his Team of the Season, Neville added: “On the left, I went for Rashford.
“When he was doing all that stuff off the pitch, which was incredible, I thought there must be a consequence of that on the pitch, that he would start to falter and that the injuries would pick up or he would be distracted. But he just kept going and kept performing and he’s still there.
“Sadio Mane has obviously been outstanding for the last three weeks, Son is a brilliant player, but I went for Rashford because of his overall contribution on and off the pitch. Maybe there’s a bit of emotion there.”
