Manchester United legend Eric Cantona believes Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Javier Pastore is the best player in the world.
The PSG midfielder has been in fine form for the capital club over the last few seasons and has caught the eye of many observers with his consistent performances.
He is one of the first names on Laurent Blanc’s team-sheet and has turned himself into one of the best midfielders in Europe at the Parc des Princes.
The Manchester United legend is a big fan of the Argentine midfielder and claimed that he is the best player in the world.
The Frenchman added that he likes Pastore because he does the simple things brilliantly on the pitch and believes he is the most creative player in the world.

“In my opinion, the best player in the world is Javier Pastore”, Cantona told L’Equipe.
“I watched two PSG games just to see him play. He has something special when it comes to finding passes.
“He is never up to anything special but just finds fantastic passes. He is the most creative player in the world and I love these kinds of footballers.”
The midfielder has made 174 appearances for PSG, scoring 32 goals and providing 34 assists. He has also earned 16 international caps for Argentina.
Despite his form, Pastore’s future at PSG has been under a cloud as he recently revealed that talks over a new contract with the club have stalled.
