The United captain is set to train with the iconic Sweden striker for the first time on Thursday when he joins up with his new team-mates following his switch to Old Trafford.
“I am looking forward to it,” Rooney explained on ‘Facebook Live’. “I think he has been one of the best strikers in world football over the last 10 years and he has always won trophies everywhere he has been.
“He is a huge character so I am looking forward to getting back, training with him and hopefully forming a good partnership and being successful together.”
