Zlatan confirms LA move in the most Zlatan-esque way possible
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed his move to Los Angeles and Major League Soccer in typical Zlatan Ibrahimovic style.
"Dear Los Angeles, you're welcome," the enigmatically worded full-page advert in the Los Angeles Times read, above Ibrahimovic's signature and a Los Angeles Galaxy logo.
The 36-year-old's move to MLS had been widely reported on Thursday after Premier League giants Manchester United confirmed the player had been released from his contract.

The Galaxy have not released details of Ibrahimovic's transfer but Sports Illustrated have reported that the forward has inked a two-year deal worth $3 million.
Ibrahimovic's transfer comes after a serious knee injury last year disrupted the end of his stint with Manchester United, who he joined in 2016 from Paris Saint-Germain.
The charismatic goalscorer had not played for United this season since featuring in a 2-2 draw against Burnley on December 26th.
Ibrahimovic scored 28 goals in 46 appearances during a remarkable first season in the Premier League before tearing knee ligaments in a Europa League game last April.
