LA Galaxy OUTBID Man Utd in Ibrahimovic contract war

LA Galaxy have tabled a massive contract offer to Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Sunday Express says he has been offered around £15million a season to quit Manchester United and move to LA Galaxy.

Ibrahimovic is paid around £11million a season by United which is almost double Orlando City's Kaka who is currently the highest paid player in the MLS.

Kaka picked up around £5.9million a season but Galaxy are ready to offer him almost three times that amount to turn his back on United.

Galaxy are owned by American entertainment giants AEG the operators of London's O2 Arena and the biggest owner of sports teams in the world.

So the finances are available to tempt Ibrahimovic to the States a year after he rejected them to move to United and become one of their designated players.
