Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently mutually consented to canceling his contract with Manchester United, and is now ready to begin his adventure in the US with MLS side LA Galaxy. These were his words at his introductory press conference: "Thank you all for coming, I want to thank everyone, the owner, the manager. I have heard from the directors more than my wife in this period. All of this should have happened two years ago before I got to United, my head was here but it didn't happen that way. Destiny has spoken, Los Angeles has called me and I answered. I feel like Benjamin Button, I was born old and will die young, I am always feeling better. I am here to win, I have brought my family. I am ready to meet my teammates and the coach: the lion is hungry. In the last months I returned to playing, I played 6/7 matches, but I didn't feel ready. I took a step back. I am here not because I am Ibrahimovic, but to bring results. If I don't win I will view the whole thing as a failure, a delusion, I will do everything to win. I am not here just for one game but for the whole season, if the coach will want I will be there for every match, for every minute: I am here to help. I see great potential in the MLS. I feel like a baby who wants candy and is looking for it, this is how I value playing now. The World Cup? I am thinking only of the Galaxy for now. No one has to call anyone, if they want me I'm here. Here I don't have to demonstrate anything, I told you, I am like Benjamin Button. I was in the Premier League, the most competitive league in the world. My haters became my fans, for this reason I accepted the challenge of playing in the Premier League, where I never played before. I am here in LA simply because I wanted to play here and I know what I can give."

He finished by talking about his career in Europe and the major clash between two of his former sides, Juventus and Milan, tomorrow: "Regrets? Everything that I did in Europe I did, I won 33 trophies, I played in the best clubs and with the best players: I am lucky. Juventus-Milan? Allegri knows what he must do to win, he won first with Milan and now with Juventus, now he has more experience. Gattuso I know as a teammate: you don't have to explain to Gattuso how to win, he knows how. He is very hungry, I am very happy for him and for the club: ihe is great: he motivates you both on and off the field. If I go to war I will bring Gattuso, there are few like him: I hope it will be a beautiful match tomorrow."
