Argentine superstar Lionel Messi is truly one of a kind. La Pulga has proven his mettle over the years with the Inter Miami star set to arguably go down as the greatest soccer player of all time. Over the years, a lot of emerging talent have been touted as the next Lionel Messi, however, no one has filled the massive shoes of the GOAT. In a sit-down interview with his club, a Manchester United star commented on people comparing his playstyle to La Pulga, stating, “No one plays like Messi.”

Manchester United is going through a rough season and will hope that their players step up to the occasion and help the team out of the rut. With the team missing multiple first-team names at the moment, this is a great opportunity for reserve players to prove their worth and force their way into the first team.
