Everton striker Romelu Lukaku admits he has ambitions of playing with Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney.

Lukaku has spoken of his huge admiration for the former Toffee.

He told Belgian magazine Le Vif: "Wayne Rooney. He really is a good footballer. He's good in the air and knows where the goal is.

"We've often played against each other, and nearly played together during Duncan Ferguson's testimonial.

"Unfortunately, I managed to injure myself and had to pull out. I still regret it to this day."
