Updated: Friday, March 30, 2018 at 22:28 UK Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted that he wanted to join Los Angeles Galaxy before he signed for Manchester United two years ago. The 36-year-old, who was recruited by the Major League Soccer outfit last week, has confessed that the switch could have happened in 2016. "[The move] was supposed to happen before Manchester United. My head was here. I wanted to come here," Ibrahimovic told reporters in his first Galaxy press conference. "Things go like they are not supposed to go, but the destiny said I will come here. Los Angles called and I answered." Ibrahimovic, who scored 29 goals in 53 appearances for United, joined the MLS side after his contract at Old Trafford was terminated by mutual consent.
