Casemiro Declares Neymar 'Far the Best' Over Ronaldo

In a recent interview, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has made a bold claim about Neymar's talent, stating that the Brazilian forward is 'by far the best' player he has played with, even surpassing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Casemiro, who has enjoyed a storied 15-year career playing alongside some of the sport's greatest names, including Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid, believes Neymar's abilities are unmatched when he is fully fit and in form. The 33-year-old praised Neymar's incredible ability to decide a game at any moment, saying it is a 'privilege' to have played with him.

However, Neymar's ongoing injury problems have been a concern, with the Paris Saint-Germain star once again missing out on Brazil's November international fixtures due to a ruptured knee ligament injury suffered last year. This has sparked debate over whether the 30-year-old should be included in Brazil's squad for the 2026 World Cup.
