Brazil and Paris Saint Germain star Neymar has praised the Manchester United duo of Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Speaking to DAZN football, Neymar praised the former Real Madrid stars, with whom he shared the field on numerous occasions during El Clasico when he was at Barcelona.
Neymar was asked to give a one-word verdict for numerous stars, including Ronaldo.
About Ronaldo, he called the 37-year-old a genius.
He expressed the same sentiment to his friend Lionel Messi, who, along with Ronaldo, is considered by football fans to be the greatest player of all time.
The other Premier League player Neymar commented on was Harry Kane, whom he described as intelligent.

The 30-year-old also hailed United defender Varane, who arrived at Old Trafford last year in a £41m deal including add-ons.
“I have played against Varane many times,” Neymar said.
“He is a very good centre-back. He is fast and smart.”
“His positioning is very good. He is a top player”.
“He is almost never wrong. That is why she has won so much.”

Certainly high praise for the United pair from a player of such a high caliber who is still at the peak of his powers.
