(Reuters) - AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli said that if he had to choose between his side's striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku, he would pick the Swede "all his life" ahead of the Milan derby in Serie A on Sunday.

Former Manchester United team mates Ibrahimovic and Lukaku meet for the first time since their fiery exchange in last month's Coppa Italia fixture, a clash that was so heated it resulted in an inquiry by the Italian Football Federation.
