The Swedish has revealed he turned down a chance to play in the
MLS to sign for Manchester United. On an exclusive chat with Goal, he said he rejected Beckham's offer of playing for his new Miami-based franchise to link up with Jose Mourinho.
"David is a good friend of mine, and he has asked me to play for his (Miami) team," Ibrahimovic said. "For now, I want to achieve big things with Manchester United, but I have a lot of respect for the MLS, and anything is possible."
He reiterated his desire to play in the MLS in 2018.
"I am not ruling out the MLS."
"Once I had decided to leave PSG there were many offers, but with Zlatan that is normal."
"I know that teams from the MLS were interested, but the opportunity to play for Manchester United, and of course to work with my good friend Jose Mourinho again, was impossible to turn down.”
He is also exploring the opportunity of playing to his late 40s.
