Striker was close to other moves
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed that he was close to moves to Manchester City and Arsenal before his eventual move to Man United this summer.
The Manchester United striker also described Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho as a “mastermind” who knows how to get the best out of him.
Ibrahimovic has made a strong start to his United career, scoring four times in his first four appearances.
“I was close to moving to the Premier League twice – once with Arsenal and then Manchester City.” said the Swede international.
“But it never happened and I don’t need to play in the Premier League.
“Mourinho is the mastermind, the masterbrain. He knows what he needs to do to win. I learned a lot from him at Inter.
“Who wouldn’t want to have Mourinho as manager?”
