Aston Villa captain Tyrone Mings seems to be enjoying his holidays alongside a certain, Ronaldinho.

The England international posted an image on his Instagram, with the word ‘original’, alongside the Brazil legend and 2002 World Cup winner.

Mings hasn’t been the only England player that has been pictured alongside Ronaldinho recently. 

Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard, who is set to leave Old Trafford upon the expiry of his contract this month, posted images alongside Neymar and Ronaldinho on his own Instagram

Nonetheless, with Mings sharing a dressing room with Philippe Coutinho and Douglas Luiz, he has probably perked up on his Portuguese and probably used it to impress Ronaldinho.

A generational talent, a ‘streets won’t forget’ type of player, Brazil’s trickster on the left was one-of-a-kind.

The English Premier League, with all its wealth and power today, is regarded as one of the best in the world.

If there was a list of the greatest players that never graced the English game in the modern era, then Ronaldinho’s name would be on that list, that’s for sure. 

During the last 30 odd years, if he is bettered by anyone, then it’s only the likes of Zinedine Zidane and his fellow countryman, Ronaldo, that are ahead of him on that all-star list. 

Saying that, it’s not a bad forward line and one that would grace any era, yesterday, tomorrow and in 50 years time.
