Brazil legend Cafu names what Neymar can do better than Manchester United's Ronaldo and Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo has enjoyed great success upon his return to Man United despite being in the latter stages of his career.

Brazil legend Cafu has claimed that Neymar is 'technically better' on the ball than Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo returned to United on deadline day and he didn't need long to announce his arrival when scoring twice on his second debut.

The 36-year-old longevity at the highest level is remarkable and Ronaldo has scored nine goals in 13 games for United this season.

It seems unlikely that Ronaldo will win the Ballon d'Or this year, though, which PSG's Lionel Messi has won a record six times.

Messi is a leading contender for the individual accolade once again while there have been calls for Robert Lewandowski to receive the elusive prize, however, Messi's teammate Neymar is actually longer odds to claim the award despite Cafu's comparison.

The legendary defender has recently claimed that Neymar is 'technically better' than United star Ronaldo and Messi.

"Neymar is technically better than Messi, better than Cristiano Ronaldo," Cafu told Marca.

"But he must assume the responsibility of a leader. One must dedicate themselves 100 per cent to football, I'm not better than Neymar, but I am better than other right-backs because I dedicated myself to that.

"He [Neymar] has to become a captain."
