He's better than Cantona, he's is Berbatov. Really though, I don't like these comparisons at times, but they have the freedom to do it, so why not.
I agree I remember someone said Sissoko was the new Viera and things like that but really is he? Considering Viera has some talent and is a more attacking DM if that makes sense
To be honest I can't really comment on this because it was just before my time of rememberance although looking at United's History if they are comparing him to the likes of them then it can't be bad, can it?
