A man who spends a bordering-on-bizarre amount of time comparing himself to a lion, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Manchester United career looks to be petering out with a stray cat mew instead of the Serengeti roar he's so used to.
Despite recovering from the knee ligament injury that wrecked what was looking like a very good season in 2016/17, Ibra has moved even further away from the United team sheet with the recent addition of Alexis Sanchez – a signing that could signal the big Swede's imminent departure.
According to ESPN, L.A. Galaxy are close to a deal with Ibrahimovic, with one source stating that progress is "the furthest along it has ever been."
Ibrahimovic signed a one-year contract with United back in August, saying he would "finish what he started", but he has made just seven appearances in all competitions this season for a combined 187 minutes of action.
One of football's most successful nomads, prior to his time at United Zlatan had enjoyed great success with Malmo, Ajax, Inter Milan, Barcelona (sort of success), AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
It's about time he proved himself out of Europe really.
