"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," said Sir Alex Ferguson.
Neymar netted 15 goals in his first season in la liga and is behind Messi for the list of goalscorers for Barcelona with 26 goals so far this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi have together been awarded the world's best player in the last seven (7) years.
Both players have also battled it out for the ballon d'Or for the past eight (8) years with Ronaldo finishing second to Kaka and ahead of Leo Messi in 2007.
The retired Manchester United manager believes Neymar is well placed to reach the standard set by Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and fellow club mate Leo Messi.
"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, but to be honest, I'm not sure there's one sticking out at the momen," - Sir Alex Ferguson added.
