Ibrahimovic re-signs with LA Galaxy for 2019

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed a new contract with LA Galaxy that ties him to the club for the 2019 MLS season.

The former Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan forward will become a Designated Player for the upcoming campaign, meaning the Galaxy will have to buy down or sell either Giovani dos Santos, Romain Alessandrini or Jonathan dos Santos.

The Swede took to Twitter on Monday to confirm that he would return in 2019 while also firing a shot at his doubters in his typical fashion.

Ibrahimovic scored 22 goals in just 27 MLS appearances after joining from United last March but was unable to guide the team into the playoffs.
