Zlatan Ibrahimovic has agreed a deal to join LA Galaxy and has already signed a contract with the MLS side, reports say.

The Manchester United striker is currently concentrating on rebuilding his fitness levels and has not featured for his side since Boxing Day.

Ibrahimovic returned too early from a serious knee injury, and the decision was taken to give the 36-year-old more time to recover.

Jose Mourinho relied heavily on his veteran striker last year, as Ibrahimovic ended the campaign as United’s top scorer despite missing the end of the season due to injury.


But, it seems Ibrahimovic is ready to move on from Old Trafford as L’Equipe claim he has already agreed to join MLS giants LA Galaxy.



It is believed Ibrahimovic signed an agreement three weeks ago and it could mean the Swede misses the final months of United’s season.

The MLS campaign kicks off in March, and LA Galaxy would surely want their new star attacker available for selection.

Ibrahimovic’s contract with United expires in June and Mourinho may release the former Barcelona star early so as to accommodate his move to America.

The summer acquisition of Romelu Lukaku added some much needed firepower to a United side that seemed far too reliant on Ibrahimovic.

Alexis Sanchez’s arrival this month is also expected to yield more goals for Mourinho’s side and the United boss would seem open to allowing Ibrahimovic to leave.

United handed Ibrahimovic a new deal last summer which meant Ibrahimovic could use the Red Devils’ medical team and facilities to recover from anterior cruciate ligament damage.

Ibrahimovic is thought to be approaching full fitness again and has dropped hints on social media that he is almost ready to return to action.
