There has ever been a curiosity among the fans to know who will be the star footballer of the future and today when we have some of the finest soccer talents, everyone has his own view about who will be the superstar some five years from now. Manchester United’s priciest midfielder Paul Pogba is the one who is also in the race to become the future Messi or Ronaldo but he himself has different views in the debate, in fact, he believes Barcelona’s Neymar is the future for his class he has maintained in recent years.
Moreover, talking about who is the most complete player in contemporary soccer, he clearly says United’s experienced player Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the one who can challenge anyone with his form he has shown in current English season. Knowingly, Ibrahimovic was out of the scene for an injury but will return for Sunday’s crunch clash against Liverpool and team is now ready to deliver their best under Jose Mourinho after a mixed start to the season.
Talking about his tuning with the Ibrahimovic that created 25 goal scoring opportunities and how better they can perform in upcoming games, he said, “We get on a lot. I try to adapt to him and his movements. I think he tries to adapt to me as well. I’m more adapting than he is because he’s the striker and makes the movements. He can hold it, he is a complete striker. He helps the team a lot.
(We have a good relationship) because he talks and you (Pogba) listen. If he gives me advice, I listen to him. If I give him advice, I don’t know if he’ll listen! He’s someone with a lot of experience, so any advice he can give me is good. He’s played at Barca, Milan, Juventus — he’s played with big players. He only wants the best for me.”
Similarly talking about Neymar and why he doesn’t stand himself in line with him, he explained, “The future you can see Neymar, he’s young. Neymar is the future. He’s the present and the future. A player who makes you enjoy. You know I’m a player, but when I look at him I see him enjoy his football. This guy is the man because of his skills, it’s like he’s dancing. He’s scoring goals, he’s assisting — he plays for himself, but he also plays for everyone. No I don’t put myself up there. I just play. People say that about me, but I won’t say that about myself. The future you can see Neymar, he’s young. Hazard, Reus. So many young players who can replace them. You never know. But after a season you can get injured for 6, or 12 months. You never know what’s going to happen.”
