Man Utd striker Ibrahimovic: I didn't want to leave AC Milan

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has spoken of his time with AC Milan.

Ibra won the Scudetto with the Rossoneri.

“My family was very happy in Milan," Ibrahimovic told Fox Sports.

“I spoke with Galliani and [President Silvio] Berlusconi and they had convinced me to join them with great desire and motivation.

“We had a great side. When we won the title, I remember Galliani coming into the dressing room with an Inter shirt in his hands and he ripped off the Scudetto badge and told us: 'This is yours now'.

“I didn't want to leave Milan [for Paris Saint-Germain]. When you're happy, you're just happy. I just wanted to be playing and I still had in my mind what had happened at Barcelona, where I hadn't been comfortable."
