Join PSG - Ibrahimovic urges Rooney

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will welcome Wayne Rooney at Paris Saint Germain with the Swede heaping praises on the England international.


Wayne Rooney was believed to have wanted a fresh start in the summer although after staying, has been Manchester United’s best player so far this season. With less than two years left on his current contract, Rooney’s future is still uncertain at Old Trafford.

Ibrahimovic who heaped praises on the Manchester United forward urged him to also come to Paris. He said:

“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.

“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

“If he 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.”
