With all the rumours of zlatan, thought I'd post a few of his quotes showing his admiration of Rooney. Seen some people assume they wouldn't get on, so thought this might be interesting to some.
Zlatan in 2013:
I follow it. The player I like is Wayne Rooney. For me, Rooney is a fantastic footballer. I can imagine him playing alongside me.
For me, Rooney is not the player who scores 40 goals a season. But he is the player who helps his partner score lots of goals because he is working for one, two and maybe three other players. It seems like he has a strong mentality to win - like me he doesn't like to lose.
I think crazy things happen around him also. He is an impulsive guy like me. In football no-one is perfect. You learn from your mistakes and I like that with him. He is himself; I think that is very important. That is one English player I like more than anyone.
Zlatan in 2015:
"These great players, they have their moments over one to three years.But to continue over five years, for ten years the way Wayne Rooney has done is not easy. It's pressure everyday playing for a big team."
"He runs a lot, he fights a lot, he sacrifices a lot," he added.
"When he played with Cristiano Ronaldo all the work was done by Wayne Rooney but he didn't get the credit because Ronaldo was scoring all of the goals.
"I'd prefer to have him in my team than play against him. I've not been lucky enough to play with him but I enjoy seeing him on the pitch - if I cannot play with him, I will watch him.
