Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has backed former Chelsea star Jamal Musiala to win the Ballon d\u2019Or in the future.<\/p>\n

Ferdinand believes Musiala, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, will be at the top for the next 12 years.<\/p>\n

Musiala is widely regarded as one of the best young players in football at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Musiala. We talk about him a lot. I don\u2019t know where his ceiling is,\u201d Ferdinand told TNT Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to see the comments from his teammates saying how diligent he is and how much of a professional he is. [Leon] Goretzka says he might be the best talent Germany have ever had.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way he moves and glides with the ball. I see a Ballon d\u2019Or at some point in his career if he fulfils that potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe doesn\u2019t seem like the type that is going to get too high when he is winning or too low when it is not going well. He seems like a very balanced, measured kid with the right people around him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat goes a long way and means there is a real good possibility of him staying at the top for a sustained period. It is the ones who get too high when it is going well, who lose themselves and fall off a cliff after two or three years at the top.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis kid will be at the top for the next 10-12 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll be at top for 12 years \u2013 Rio Ferdinand backs ex-Chelsea star to win Ballon d\u2019Or<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
