#1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Another player whose contract was terminated by Manchester United in order to facilitate a move away from the club, Zlatan signed with LA Galaxy in March 2018. Named on the bench against Los Angeles FC in the El Trafico derby as the crowd chanted ‘We want Zlatan!’, he came on as a substitute, famously scoring a 45-yard screamer and an injury-time winner in a 4-3 win.
Trending
After the match, he typically and pompously said, ’The crowd wanted Zlatan, so I gave them Zlatan!’. He scored twice against FC Dallas in a 3-2 loss. In the aftermath of the match, he criticised the club for letting in too many goals every game.
He scored braces against Real Salt Lake and San Jose Earthquakes and netted a penalty against Columbus Crew. He scored his first MLS hat trick in the 4-3 win against Orlando City. In September, he scored a characteristically acrobatic goal, his 500th for club and country.
