"Other teams wanted some Ibra-kadabra but I wanted United"

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed that he turned down offers from other clubs to return to Manchester United. Speaking to ESPN, Ibrahimovic has revealed the reasons behind his decision. 

There were a couple of teams reaching out, wanting Ibra-kadabra in their team, but I had such a great year with United, we had a great year, we won 3 trophies. Fantastic guys, great club.

I’m in a situation where I have to think 360 degrees around me. Everybody is happy about this [re-joining Manchester United] and I’m super happy.

Ibrahimovic has claimed that silverware is part of his plans at United and he expects us to win the Premier League. 

I come back to finish what I started. From my first year the team has been winning trophies and learning the sacrifice it takes to win a trophy. And the mental part and that is what I think the coach [Jose Mourinho] brought the team, the mental thing and me as a player.

In the Premier League there are many [rivals], which are top Top 6 let’s say, they will give a hard time for everybody. Like last season Chelsea was the best team, they won. You’ll still have Chelsea, you have Liverpool, I think Everton are not to underestimated because they have a great coach and they are investing a lot to win. And obviously you have Arsenal, City. So I think it will look like last year but this year the Red Devils will be on top.
