AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has aimed a subtle shade at both Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney after the Piers Morgan interview with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
The fitness enthusiast claimed that Rooney was jealous of him because he was still fitter and looked better.
Ibrahimovic has in the past questioned why Ronaldo got all the praises for his time at Manchester United, yet it was Rooney who made him better.

Ronaldo made a series of comments in the interview while also trolling his former teammate Wayne Rooney.
Rooney had in the past commented about Ronaldo’s behaviour this season at Manchester United, to which Ronaldo responded that perhaps Rooney was jealous cause he was still playing at a high level and Rooney had long retired.
Ronaldo also added that he was still looking sharper than Rooney.
“Recommended for you” block and enjoy! Ibrahimovic met with Rooney at the Globe Soccer Awards and the Swede striker asked Rooney if he was still looking sharp.
“The undertone of the message was from Ronaldo’s interview. The AC Milan striker, despite being older than Ronaldo and Rooney, is still playing.
“He is currently out with an ACL injury. In the past, he also questioned why Ronaldo used to get a lot of plaudits during his first stint at Manchester United, yet it was Rooney who always did ‘all the work’.
“Whoever played with Wayne Rooney, he has to be happy because he made them better. When he played with Cristiano Ronaldo, all the work was done by Rooney but Ronaldo got the praise for the goals,” as quoted by Sport Bible.
