Ibrahimovic: I can easily play in Premier League, if Man Utd need me I'm here

Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes he could easily still play in the Premier League and joked he would return to Manchester United if they needed him.

“I can easily play in Premier League. If United needs me, I’m here!

“But Galaxy has me so I’m sorry.

“I saw United’s last game, it was unlucky — if they score the penalty, it’s a different game.

“But a game in England is not finished until it’s finished.

“Anything can happen, especially in the last minutes, in the heat of the moment.”

Ibra is also regularly on the phone to old pal Paul Pogba — who he last month insisted must be allowed to leave Old Trafford if he wants to.

He smiled: “I speak with him. I give a lot of advice. But nothing I share with you!”

Former United team-mate Wayne Rooney will end his time in America by leaving DC United in January to return to England with Derby.

Ex-Barcelona and AC Milan striker Zlatan said: “I’m not surprised he’s going back.

“Absolutely not. He came, he tried, did his best and had patience.

“I think he’s going back as a player-coach. He’s looking already for something else.

“Me? I focus on one thing at a time. For the moment, I’m a player.”

Ibrahimovic — who has played in the Milan derby and El Clasico — feels the MLS could one day reach that level but has a long way to go.

“We’re in the US, where nothing is impossible.

“It’s nice for this league but you cannot compare it with Milan v Inter, Marseille v Paris, Barcelona v Madrid. It’s on a different level.

“Still it’s something, it’s growing and it will get big, hopefully, if they make it big.”

“I did my job in Europe. I enjoyed it, I have 33 trophies that I brought with me here and hopefully, I can get something here.

“And then we will see where that adventure finishes.”
