Brazil superstar Neymar has urged Manchester United’s unsettled striker Wayne Rooney to consider a move to Barcelona, saying it would be a dream to play with the England forward.

Neymar, who himself joined the Catalan side earlier this summer for £48.6million from Brazilian side Santos, has described the Camp Nou as the perfect destination for a player of Rooney’s talent.

The Samba star, who scored a sensational goal in Brazil’s thumping 3-0 win over Spain in last night’s Confederation Cup final, said: ‘The style of football we (Barcelona) play and the level of the players we have - we are the perfect club for the top players to join.'

'Wayne is one of the most gifted and technical players in the world. Of course he would improve Barcelona. He would improve any club in Europe.

'And on a personal level, it would be a dream to play with him. I have met Wayne on a few occasions and he seems a good guy but importantly, he is one of the players I admire most in the world.'
