Sir Alex Ferguson has stated that there is no-one out there ready to challenge Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the title of the world's best player.
The former Manchester United boss Ferguson believes Messi and Ronaldo are both out there on their own and have no immediate threat to their status as the best on the planet.
Neymar has been touted several times as a contender to Messi and Ronaldo, but Ferguson claims the Barcelona and Brazil star has yet to justify the hype around him.
“You'll always look at clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United to produce that kind of player you're talking about,” said Ferguson.
“But to be honest I'm not sure there's one sticking out at the moment. The boy Neymar gets a lot of publicity about the potential he's got, but I think that's still to be seen, still to be fulfilled.
“Certainly, most people I speak to speak highly of the boy. When I had Anderson at United, he spoke volumes about the boy's ability.
“So hopefully he'll be the next one who'll produce the type of talent we see in Messi and Ronaldo.”
In a rare interview, Ferguson also hailed Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, who is under immense pressure at the Bernabeu and on Manchester City's radar as one of the best coaches in the world.
