Zlatan Fancies Move To USA After United

Zlatan Fancies Move To USA After United

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was heavily linked with a move across the Atlantic to join a Major League Soccer club at the end of his contract with Paris Saint Germain this past summer. The Swedish legend still felt he had business in Europe as he opted to sign a one year deal to play under former boss Jose Mourinho at Manchester United. Clearly the attraction of playing in the Premier league was too great for the striker and he was compelled to join his manager from his spell at Inter Milan again in the North West of England.

Ibrahimovic has recently confirmed that he still likes the idea of playing in North America and thinks that he can play a big role in the game across the Atlantic. As ESPNFC reported the Swedish ace had this to say about the prospect of him relocating to play in North America in the future:

“It’s a huge option for me,” he said. “For the football and everything else. I can see myself conquering the U.S. as I have with Europe.


“Lots of people stay in one place throughout their career, but I’ve travelled around like Napoleon, and conquered every new country where I’ve sat foot. So perhaps I should do what Napoleon didn’t and cross the Atlantic and conquer the States as well.”

“The team I signed for this summer is not as strong as the one I left, but when Mourinho called the decision was easy,” he said. “When he calls I have no problem coming, all we had to decide was when I was to be presented as Man U player. The rest, the financial deal, was not the difficult part.

“It was about the challenge really, and I will never say no to a challenge. This is what I wanted; coming to one of the world’s biggest clubs, that has had troubles and not won much of late, and try the Premier League. That is the challenge.”

Zlatan has won the League title at 6 different clubs in 4 different countries, so moving and adapting is nothing new for the player and he clearly feels he can still play on for some time to come. Manchester United face Feyenoord on Thursday night in the Europa League where the Red-Devils have it all to do to make it through to the knockout phase of the competition.
