Ashley Young to Become One of the Best Players in the World?

Villa defender Curtis Davies says that winger Ashley Young will come in for some stick in the dressing room after manager Martin O'Neill compared him to Lionel Messi. However he does admit that there is something special about his teammate:

"He’s improving. You don’t peak as a player until you are 27 or 28 so he’s got another five years to get even better...If that improvement continues, he will be one of the best players in the world."

Martin O'Neill Puts Ashley Young in Same Class as Ronaldo and Messi

“You talk about Ronaldo and Messi. Is Young in that company? Yes. I’ve just put him in it...This is my opinion. I look at players, I see a lot of games in Europe. I watch a lot of football and you see a lot of players playing the game who are very functional...Some are decent, some are more than decent and some are very good...And then you have a few players who are absolutely exceptional and Ashley Young is absolutely exceptional...I think he’s a world-class performer, I really do. I don’t use that too often but he’s absolutely class."
