Zlatan jokes about returning to Manchester United

Seeing as how his former club Manchester United are struggling to find their feet in the new season amid an average start and a few high-profile departures, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has joked about returning to the club.

He said,

"I could play easy in the Premier League, so if United need me, I'm here. But Galaxy has me, so I'm sorry. Nah, 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."

"I look, I look, I look. I saw the last game and I think they were unlucky. If they score the penalty, it's a different game but a game in England is not finished until its finished.

"Anything can happen, especially in the last minutes where everything is in the heat of the moment."
