Manchester United announce they have terminated Zlatan Ibrahimovich's contract with immediate effect ahead of his move to MLS giants, LA Galaxy.
The veteran Swedish striker joined Manchester United from Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in 2016 helping the Old Trafford outfits to their first ever Europa League trophy.

He won the December Player Of The Month Award in 2016/17 - his debut season, scoring 28 goals in 46 games.

In April 2017, the 36-year-old suffered a knee injury that sidelined him for 8 months and a return to action this season saw the once prolific striker perform quite poorly - limiting his game time at Manchester United.

"Manchester United confirms that it has agreed to the termination of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s contract with immediate effect," the club explained in a statement published on Thursday .

"Everyone at the club would like to thank Zlatan for his contribution to the team since his arrival and wishes him well for the future."

The 36-year-old has agreed a switch to LA Galaxy, signing a two-year deal that will pay him $1.5 million per season.

Zlatan also represented Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus.
