Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Manchester United career could be over with the Swede knowing he can pick up in next season’s MLS with Los Angeles FC after getting over knee injury
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC could have played his last game for Manchester United with a move to Major League Soccer on the cards.
According to reports, the 35-year-old fancies a move to the MLS next season, mainly because it will give him time to overcome his anterior cruciate ligament damage.

And he was taken off the pitch before realising the extent of the damage – an injury that will keep him out for at least the next nine months.
According to the Mirror, Los Angeles FC are a club mooted to be interested in the striker and with the Californian club set to begin their inaugural season next March, they want a marquee signing to bring through the doors.
Ibrahimovic is set to go for surgery with renowned doctor Freddie Fu in Pittsburgh as he bids to get the best treatment possible.
