Zlatan Ibrahimovic: I am best player in history of Major League Soccer

"I'm very thankful for MLS because they gave me the chance to feel alive," said Zlatan Ibrahimovic in an interview with ESPN.

"But the problem was I was still too alive. So I was too good for the whole competition. That is what I showed. And I'm the best ever to play in MLS and that is not me having ego or trying to show off now. That is true.

"And when I was there, I enjoyed [it]. I had a good time. And I like the way they were working, the way they were doing the marketing stuff.

"And I think [playing in MLS] was the best way for me to come back after my injury. I was in the best condition ever. And I'm very proud I played for the MLS, because they were saying to me the stadiums are pretty empty when you play in that.

"There was no empty stadiums when I was playing. It was even overbooked, so I cannot complain, and I'm very happy I was there."

Zlatan, 40, played for LA Galaxy till 2020 and is currently part of AC Milan as they fight for the Serie A title with Inter Milan.

In 20 league games this term, Zlatan has scored eight goals and provided three assists.
