Zlatan Ibrahimovic Open to Man Utd Return
LA Galaxy
striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he would be open to a return to former club
Manchester United when his contract ends in November.
The
37-year-old Swede has scored 46 goals in 49 games since moving to the
Major League Soccer side in March 2018.
"I
could play easy in the Premier League, so if United needs me, I'm here,"
he said.
Ibrahimovic
scored 28 goals in his 2016-17 debut season for United before suffering a knee
injury.
His two-year
contract was terminated early by mutual consent to allow him to move to the
United States.
However, if
he were to rejoin United, he would not be allowed to play for them until
January, when the English transfer window reopens.
He signed a
new deal to stay with Galaxy for the 2019 campaign in December.
"Galaxy
has me, so I'm sorry," he added.
"I did
my job in Europe. I enjoyed it, I have 33 trophies that I brought with me here
and hopefully I can get something here.
"And
then we will see where that adventure finishes."
Ibrahimovic
added that he still watches Manchester United's games and insisted they were
unlucky in their home defeat by Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Marcus
Rashford missed a penalty in the loss, just as team-mate Paul Pogba had done in
the draw at Wolves five days earlier.
"I saw
the last game and I think they were unlucky," he said.
"If
they score the penalty it's a different game, but a game in England is not
finished until it's finished.
"Anything
can happen, especially in the last minutes where everything is in the heat of
the moment."
Ibrahimovic
also revealed that he is still in touch with Pogba, who has been linked with a
move away from United this summer.
"I
speak with him. A lot of advice I give - but nothing I share with you!"
Ibrahimovic added.
