Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed his two children persuaded him to join Red Devils squad.

Asked about his plans for next season, he said: “Let’s see what happens. I think in your career you have moments. I did not come to England before because it was not the moment.

“Even my two kids wanted to see me play at United, I had my mind somewhere else. Before, everything was coming on top of the table, then Jose called.

“I have a special relationship with him. When he called it was basically, ‘tell me what number I should wear’. My mind was not here. Then my kids started to bump my head and Jose called, then I am here.”
