50 Cent has proclaimed that he would like to go into business with England footballer Wayne Rooney.

Speaking to the Daily Star, the US rapper said that the Manchester United forward is a "brand" and that there is lots of money to be made in European football.

He added that the pair have met before and that Rooney is a "great guy". 50 Cent said:

"I'm a big fan of Wayne Rooney, he's a brand. I want to become business partners with him. European soccer is a big business and there's money to be made with top players. I've met Wayne and he's a great guy. He's one of the top soccer players in the world and has a lot of years left in his career."

So how might 50 Cent go into business with Rooney? Restaurants, clothing and nightclubs, apparently. 50 Cent added:

"I am all about making money and I know my man Wayne is as well. The possibilities are endless. Restaurants in Europe, clothing stores, nightclubs. Making millions is cool, but making a billion is better, and Wayne knows it."
