"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." However, despite waxing lyrical about the ability of Jose Mourinho, Ibrahimovic has refused to rule out a move to America in the future."I am not ruling out the MLS," he added. "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.” The veteran striker, who has won league titles in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France, will turn 35 in October but maintains that he has no intention to retire in the near future. "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."</blockquote>
