Exclusive: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on MLS, FIFA, transfer talk, Onyewu, more
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the most intriguing athletes on the planet, and he's never been one to be at a loss for words.
Ibrahimovic joined SI Now for an exclusive 1-on-1 interview this week and touched on a wide range of topics, not disappointing in the least. Who won his fight with American defender Oguchi Onyewu when the two were at AC Milan? What did Thierry Henry tell him about playing in MLS? What does he think of the FIFA scandal (and the recent prank involving Sepp Blatter)? Which actor would play him in an action movie?
Ibrahimovic is constantly mentioned in transfer rumors, with the latest batch linking him to Manchester United. Given his tenuous past with Louis van Gaal, though, that move seems unlikely. Ibrahimovic says his relationship with van Gaal is "not good" and that it could be a "big problem" for any potential reunion of the two, with van Gaal being the technical director at Ajax while Ibrahimovic played there earlier in his career.
