Ibrahimovic set to join MLS after Manchester United stint

Manchester Aug 25 (IANS) Zlatan Ibrahimovic who re-joined English Premier League club Manchester United has said he is eyeing a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) in the US after his stint in England.

"I think there is a big chance of me going to the MLS. But like I said I m not done yet " Ibrahimovic told ESPN FC on Thursday.

"I go back to United to finish what I started but after that I think MLS can be in the picture. But let s see what happens."

Ibrahimovic will be at United until the end of this season at least after signing a new deal.

The talismanic Swedish striker will return to action for Jose Mourinho s side when he recovers from his cruciate ligament injury.

"We had couple of teams (interested). I mean there was couple of teams reaching out wanted Ibra-kadabra in their team but I had such a great year with United " Ibrahimovic said confirming he had other offers as well.

"We had a great year we won three trophies. Fantastic guys great club and a coach that I ve known from before. I was happy. It s not always about the sporting thing. You choose when you sign for a club and I m in a situation where I have to think 360 degrees around me.

"Everybody is happy about this and I m super happy. Happiness has no value and this year I play for free just like last year " he added.

United have had a perfect start to the new season winning both their opening matches by a 4-0 margin against West Ham United and Swansea City.
