Ibrahimovic names his preferred partner at Manchester United

Published




Newly-signed Manchester United star striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed his preferred perfect partner in attack in the forthcoming English Premier League (EPL) football season.

Speaking during a documentary aired on Man United official tv on Tuesday, Ibrahimovic said he believes that captain Wayne Rooney can be his “perfect partner” in attack.

The former PSG player said, “I think every big player can work with other big players. That’s not a problem. We are 11 players, not two players on the pitch. It’s up to the coach what he wants but, with him, I see no problems. Only success.

“I said many years ago the perfect partner for a striker is Wayne Rooney. He works not only for himself but for the striker and the whole team. I’m absolutely happy to be one of the guys beside him.”

Ibrahimovic expressed his admiration for his new colleague, saying, “I think he’s had a fantastic career. He’s been here a long time. I think he came when he was 18 and it’s 12 years. It’s not easy to be in top clubs for so many years. Players come and go. Top players are coming and going but he is still staying.

“He has performed at the top every year. I think he is a perfect example for young players to look at and take after. He’s been playing such a long time for a top club and giving results year after year. Not everybody can succeed with that but he is one of them. I’m very happy I’m in his team and will do my best to help him win.”
