Ibrahimovic wants Rooney to join him at PSG

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic wants English striker Wayne Rooney to join him at Paris Saint-Germain.

Ibrahimovic was quoted by The Sun as saying, “When there was talk of Wayne Rooney joining us in Paris it was a prospect that excited me. I don’t just want to play with just great players I want to play with technically great players – and that is what he is.

“You can work on the technical side of your game – but it is not something you can be taught. You either have it or you don’t – and Rooney does.”

The PSG talisman also added that Rooney’s behaviour in the summer was very indicative of the fact that he no longer wants to stay in Manchester.

“I think he made it clear in the summer that he wanted a fresh challenge – and things have not been going so well for Manchester United this season,” Ibrahimovic said.

Ibrahimovic couldn’t keep his trademark arrogance aside either as he went on to say:

“If Rooney still wants to move next summer or even in January I would urge him to come and play with me in Paris.

“The only direction this club is going is up, but if he did join he would have to get used to the fact that Zlatan scores even better goals than he does.”
