Zlatan Ibrahimovic orders Wayne Rooney to quit Manchester United and join PSG
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has urged Wayne Rooney to quit Manchester United during the January transfer window and move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Rooney, who reportedly handed in a transfer request over the summer, was strongly linked with a £25million move to the Ligue 1 champions.
The England striker eventually opted to stay put, but amid fresh reports that he is unhappy at Old Trafford, Ibrahimovic has tipped Rooney to join him in Paris.
When there was talk of Rooney joining us in Paris it was a prospect that excited me, said Ibrahimovic.
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 in January, I would urge him to come and play with me in Paris. The only direction this club is going is up.
Ibrahimovic has formed a tasty strike partnership with £60million signing Edinson Cavani in recent weeks, after his arrival from Napoli.
But the Sweden striker says he could do better alongside Rooney.
If he did join he would have to get used to the fact that Zlatan scores even better goals than him, added Ibrahimovic.
But I dont just want to play with great players, I want to play with technically great players and that is what he is.
You can work on the technical side but it is not something you can be taught. You have it or you dont and Rooney does.
