I refused offers from Beckham, Others to join united - zlatan

Manchester United's new striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic

revealed that he turned down David Beckham and MLS
for a chance to work with his "good friend" Jose
Mourinho at Manchester United.

The Swede left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last
season and had a number of offers, only to decide to
join the Red Devils and play in the Premier League for
the first time in his career.

With Beckham's Miami-based franchise already
purchasing land for their new stadium, the former
England captain tried to convince his former PSG
teammate to join him as the club targets to join MLS by
2018.

"David is a good friend of mine, and he has asked me to
play for his [Miami] team," Ibrahimovic told Goal.com.
"For now, I want to achieve big things with Manchester
United, but I have a lot of respect for the MLS, and
anything is possible.

"I am not ruling out the MLS. Once I had decided to
leave PSG there were many offers, but with Zlatan that is
normal.

"I know that teams from the MLS were interested, but
the opportunity to play for Manchester United, and of
course to work with my good friend Jose Mourinho again,
was impossible to turn down."

Ibrahimovic will turn 35 in October, and with the
charismatic striker opting for a one-year contract at
United, the player hinted that a move to MLS is possible
as he targets to play on for another five years.

"I would never rule out the MLS in the future. I have a
contract with Manchester United, but I feel in great
shape," he added. "I feel as though I could play until I
am 40. It is impossible to predict the future."

The striker missed Manchester United's tour in China,
but finally joined up with his new teammates in
Manchester on Tuesday.

He will likely put up appearance when United travel to his
home country to take on Galatasaray in a friendly on
Saturday in Gothenburg Sweden.
