I’m Not Here To Waste My Time, Ibrahimovic Tells Manchester United
2 min readZlatan Ibrahimovic has told Manchester United that he is not at the club to “waste time”.
He challenged the Old Trafford side to show ambition if he must stay for next season.
The Swede is in talks about extending his contract for another 12 months, although he has an offer to move to the Major League Soccer with LA Galaxy.
“I’m 35,” Ibrahimovic said, adding that “A lot of things have to be settled. It’s not like I’m 20 and I have another five or 10 years.
“Probably I have one, two, three years so everything depends on what you want and what the club wants, what the vision of the club is because I said from day one I didn’t come here to waste time, I came here to win. If you want to win bigger then you have to create bigger.
“Listen, if I had something to say I would already have said it. We are talking. Whether we were far from each other or close to each other, there is no news. There are still talks and let’s see what will happen. I am open. Nothing is done yet.
“I came here without the Champions League. I came here with the team as it was. It was not a team that was favourite to win. I still came. I came to help. I came to do what I am able to do. To make it better. To bring the team to higher views so let’s see what happens.”
United are fifth in the table and trail leaders Chelsea by 16 points ahead of their midweek clash at home against Everton.
