Zlatan Ibrahimovic announces LA Galaxy move in most Zlatan Ibrahimovic way ever

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced his arrival at LA Galaxy in the MLS in the most Zlatan Ibrahimovic way possible; by taking out a full-page advert in the local newspaper simply saying “you’re welcome”

The 36-year-old left Manchester United four months before the end of his contract on Thursday after the club agreed to let him go early so he could join up with the Galaxy at the start of the new MLS season.

The next day he rocked up in LA and it was never going to be a quiet unveiling was it? On Friday morning a full page advert in the LA Times simply said “Dear Los Angeles, you’re welcome” with Zlatan’s signature at the bottom.

There was also an interview with the Swedish striker in the newspaper, complete with a photo of him in a Galaxy shirt, where he said: “After being in Europe, winning 33 trophies, playing in the best teams in the world, playing with the best players in the world, I wanted to come to the U.S. and play my game there. I want people to enjoy my game and win.

“I chose Galaxy to do that. I am ready to go now. First of all, i’m there to play football. I’m not there for something else. My first objective is to play football and do what i’m good at. I’m excited to come over and to get the experience with the Galaxy and to explore how the football is there. I want to be part of it and make it better.”

Ibrahimovic joined United on a free transfer in the summer of 2016 and took to life in the Premier League swimmingly, scoring 28 goals in 26 games, including the winner in the 2017 League Cup final over Southampton. He was also part of the United team that won the Europa League in May.

But this season chances for the former Barcelona, Ajax, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter forward have been hard to come by after the £75m signing of Romelu Lukaku. Prior to leaving this week, Zlatan had not played for United since being substituted during the home draw against Burnley on Dec. 26.

And despite retiring from international football, the Swedish legend could come out of international retirement for this summer’s World Cup, it has been reported.

“It is time to move on after two fantastic seasons with Manchester United,” he wrote on social media on Thursday. “Great things also come to an end. Thank you to the club, the fans, the team, the coach, the staff and everybody who shared with me this part of my history.”
