The Swedish striker says he was not pleased with his level following his comeback from injury, and offered to forego a wage
Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he offered to play for free at Manchester United following his comeback from injury.
The striker sustained a cruciate ligament injury during his first season at the club, during which time he scored 28 goals.
Ibrahimovic earned a new contract at the club after returning ahead of schedule, but he could not replicate his form pre-injury, and was released in March, allowing him to join LA Galaxy.
The Swedish striker, who was not a member of his country's squad at the World Cup despite repeated hints that he would end his international retirement if asked, has now taken the unusually humble step of admitting that he was not at the same level when he came back for United.
