"I could play easy in the Premier League, so if United need me, I'm here," he said. "But Galaxy has me, so I'm sorry.

"Nah, I did my job in Europe. I enjoyed it, I have 33 trophies that I brought with me here and hopefully I can get something here. And then we will see where that adventure finishes."

Ibrahimovic has scored 46 goals in 49 games for Galaxy since arriving from Old Trafford in 2018.

Jurgen Klopp expects to take a one-year break from managing when he leaves Liverpool.

Klopp joined Liverpool in 2015 and his current contract runs to 2022.

“I have absolute energy," said Klopp. "But I have one problem. I can’t do ‘a little bit’. I can only do ‘all or nothing’. When I decide that I cannot do it any longer then I will take a break for a year.”

Klopp had a short break after leaving Borussia Dortmund before his appointment with Liverpool in October of 2015.

“After that year a decision must then be taken. But chances are very high that my energy level will then be there once more and that I can then do the job the way I want to.”

Barcelona have offered to take Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain on a loan deal with an option to make the move permanent next summer.

Barcelona had hoped to include Philippe Coutinho to Paris Saint-Germain as a makeweight, but he instead has been loaned to Bayern Munich. Barcelona will try to replicate Bayern's strategy with Neymar and PSG.

Barca don't have huge sums of money to spend, having already spent more than €200m this summer on Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie De Jong, Junior Firpo and Neto.

Barcelona offered €80 million plus Coutinho and Ivan Rakitic. PSG countered with €120 million plus Coutinho and Semedo.

Barca have not given up on signing Neymar even though high-ranking officials have told ESPN FC "it will be complicated," especially given the threat of Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich has agreed to a loan deal with Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho.

Bayern will pay Coutinho's full salary for the season and have the option of making the deal permanent next summer for €120 million.

"All parties have agreed not to disclose any financial details of the agreement." However, Barcelona included details of the loan fee and price to make the deal permanent in their announcement.

"For me, this move means a new challenge in a new country with one of the best clubs in Europe," Coutinho said after completing the move. "I'm very much looking forward to that. Like FC Bayern, I have big ambitions and I'm convinced that I can achieve them together with my new teammates."

Inter Milan have approached Manchester United about a season-long loan deal for Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez turned down a move to Roma last week.

“I will rely on all the players who are here. He has his place, he is an important player and I hope all the players will make the task of choosing a team difficult.”
