ZLATAN SIGNS FOR GALAXY
ZLATAN Ibrahimovic has left Manchester United and will today be confirmed as an LA Galaxy player.
The move to the Galaxy, worth a relatively modest £1million a year, is expected to be announced in a fullpage advert in the Los Angeles
Times and Ibrahimovic will travel to California to be unveiled next week.
The 36-year-old Swede has signed a contract for the rest of this season and could make his debut against new rivals LAFC on March 31.
United confirmed yesterday that the remainder of Ibrahimovic’s oneyear deal at Old Trafford has been cancelled, effectively ending the top-level career of a striker who has also played for Malmo, Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
‘Great things also come to an end and it is time to move on after two fantastic seasons with Manchester United,’ he wrote on Instagram.
‘Thank you to the club, the fans, the team, the coach, the staff and everybody who shared with me this part of my history.’
He scored 28 goals in a superb first season in England but struggled to recover from a ruptured cruciate ligament sustained in April.
An early comeback in November did not go to plan and the last of his seven appearances this season came on Boxing Day.
Ibrahimovic could now line up against his old club if United confirm plans to play the Galaxy on their pre- season tour of America this summer.
