Ibrahimovic keen on MLS and Beckham’s Miami project
David Beckham has reached out to Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic about joining his proposed Miami MLS club, the striker told Goal.
“Bad taste, tact, consideration from Manchester United who gave the No. 9 to Ibrahimovic without an agreement with Martial”.
Martial was reported to have temporarily unfollowed United on Twitter in an apparent show of disappointment at the shirt number swap before the 21-year-old re-followed his employers at the weekend.
Frenchman Martial’s choice of number 11 mirrors his choice of shirt for the national team at Euro 2016.
‘Zlatan is 34 and it would have been nice to get him at 28 or 29, but the way he played for PSG previous year showed he has a lot to offer still and he looks really fit, ‘ Robson told MUTV.
There were also rumors that Ibrahimović initially craved for the no. 10 jersey, but given that is team captain and United pet Wayne Rooney’s, the switch was expectedly not allowed.
BT Sport will broadcast Wayne Rooney’s testimonial between Manchester United and Everton live on August 3.
One of the most successful players and forwards of this generation has not ruled out a move to Major League Soccer later in his career.
The Premier League giants will then face Leicester City in the Community Shield on August 7, with their league campaign kicking off a week later against Bournemouth.
“Yeah I think the club needs a big character like him”, Park said.
Young played along and replied saying he might just do that.
Anyway, one fan clearly hasn’t been keeping up with the news as he seems to have purchased a genuine 2016/17 United shirt with Ibrahimovic No8 on the back.
