Thiago Silva wants Wayne Rooney at PSG in January

Wayne Rooney

Paris St. Germaine defender Thiago Silva has said that he still hopes to play alongside Wayne Rooney despite the club failing to snatch the Manchester United striker in the summer.

Silva said that the team would move as early as possible and may renew their interest in January with the player’s future at United still remaining uncertain.

“It is clear his future at Manchester United is not certain. The player himself has made it clear that he would like a new challenge. If he still feels that way in January or even next summer then, once again, I would urge him to come and join PSG,” Silva told the Sunday Mirror.

“We are the most exciting project in European football and it is clear from the ambition of our owners that we are going to be successful,” he added.

Meanwhile, Rooney has been on a good run recently which saw him score three goals from two games ahead of the Manchester Derby.
