5 possible destinations for Zlatan Ibrahimovic after being released by Manchester United

3) Malmo FF

Malmo was Ibrahimovic’s first club

Where it all began for a gangly teenager destined for great things. 21 years after signing his first ever contract, it would be an emotional return for Ibrahimovic as his career comes full circle.

They still hold the record for the most Swedish championships and have won three of the last four championships. And this year they are currently top of the table (with a game in hand).

A return to Sweden would also suit Ibrahimovic’s needs. The cold winters ensure that the football season does not start until April and they go on until November.

Moreover, it’s a 30-game season. It won’t be as punishing as the English schedule which saw Mourinho playing Ibrahimovic in the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and Europa League!
