Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to call time on his stint at Manchester United and join LA Galaxy in the MLS.

The 36-year-old has never made any secret of his desire to make his mark in the US and has courted the attention of the American media throughout the final years of his career.

Now, according to L'Equipe, his wish is set to come true, with the French newspaper reporting that the player has already signed a deal with the Californian-based club.

Report suggest Zlatan Ibrahimovic has already signed a contract with MLS club LA Galaxy

They state that a contract was signed three weeks ago, with an American source close to the club and the MLS divulging the information.

Ibrahimovic has entered the final six months of his United contract, and Jose Mourinho stated at the beginning of this week that he would not stand in the player's way should he ask to leave.

'Zlatan is in his last year of his contract,' Mourinho said. 'If that is true and Zlatan wants a future in another country then we are here to help and create conditions for that to happen, not to make his life difficult.'

Ibrahimovic's first season at United curtailed by a knee injury picked up in the Europa League

The French paper states that he is set to continue his rehabilitation at United, before heading to Los Angeles.

Videos emerged this week of Ibrahimovic putting himself through a gruelling fitness excercise, as he underwent a 'high altitude' work out.

He has not played for Manchester United since picking up a knock to his knee on Boxing Day.

He re-signed for the club in the summer after a hugely impressive debut campaign, which was ended prematurely due to a knee ligament injury.

He returned in October but struggled for regular playing time following the signing of Romelu Lukaku.

Manchester United have splashed the cash once again this window, signing Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal which is surely set to limit the Swede#s chances of playing time further.
