Former Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov believes Marco Verratti would be a terrific midfield partner for Nemanja Matic.

The Italian put on a demonstration of his talents in PSG's win over United at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

And Berbatov thinks Verratti's ball playing skills would suit alongside the gritty Matic.

He said: "Marco Veratti was very impressive in the centre of the park for PSG.

"What I like about him is that his first thought is always to go forwards, but if that's not on, he's happy just to keep the ball, controlling the tempo and almost putting the other team to sleep.

"The Italian is an unbelievable talent; he reminds me of Xavi and Iniesta in many ways.

"He'd be great at United next to Nemanja Matic in midfield, allowing the Serbian to do the dirty work while he controlled the game. Can't see PSG selling though!"
