Zlatan Ibrahimovic admits he would loved to have played with Wayne Rooney

BOURNEMOUTH striker Callum Wilson is facing at least six months out after scans confirmed a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

 

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has revealed he would loved to have played alongside Wayne Rooney at Manchester United.

 

The Paris Saint-Germain star has been in teams with some of the world's best strikers, including Lionel Messi at Barcelona and Henrik Larsson for Sweden.

However, he admits the one player who he wishes he had the opportunity to play with up front is United captain Wayne Rooney.

 

And he joked, he'd just have to make do with watching the former Everton man on the television instead.

"I would love to have played with him - I will just have to continue watching him instead," Ibrahimovic told reporters.
