Manchester United legend calls Neymar Kim Kardashian of football

Former Manchester City midfielder Joey Barton has labeled Paris Saint Germain forward, Neymar “Kim Kardashian of football.”

Barton who is now the manager of Fleetwood Town spoke in an interview with French news outlet L’Equipe noting that Neymar does not deserve to be compared to Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

Barton admitted that the World’s most expensive player is not the best player in the world, “I think he is the Kim Kardashian of football. Neymar is not the best player in the world, we saw that again in Russia. He is not at the level of Ronaldo and Messi, and there are many other players in front of him. Neymar, more than a football phenomenon, is an advertising phenomenon, like the Kardashians.”

The former Marseille player also revealed his ambition of coaching his former side at one point in his career, “I would love to coach Marseille one day. Honestly, I could train Marseille without any problem,” he added. I know the club from top to bottom. I understand the people, the culture, I know the Velodrome and I know what the club means to people. Many Marseille coaches did not know the club. If my trip brings me back there, fantastic.”
