Ibrahimovic praises Rooney hunger

Paris Saint-Germain forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has praised Wayne Rooney for the hunger he shows during matches.

Rooney was recently made captain of Manchester United and England and Ibrahimovic says that his desire is a positive influence for his teammates.

"I do like Rooney," he told The Guardian. "For me he has a lot of hunger when he plays. I think he's good for the team. The rest? I cannot judge them because I don't know them."

Rooney has scored 41 goals in 97 appearances for England.
