When asked how he felt about his time in MLS, he said he was very happy. MLS gave me the chance to feel alive.

The problem was that I was still alive. I was the best in the competition. That is what I showed. I am the best ever to play in MLS and that is not something I am trying to show off. That is true.

I enjoyed it when I was there. I had a good time. I like the way they were working.

I think playing in MLS was the best way for me to come back after my injury. I was in the best shape of my life. I played for the MLS and they told me the stadiums are pretty empty when you play there.

There were no empty stadiums when I was playing. I am very happy I was there because it was over booked.

While at AC Milan, Ibrahimovic did not rule out a return to MLS in the future, and even said he could follow in the footsteps of David Beckham and create his own franchise.

He said that he would come back one day and show them how to play football.

It is for two years. I think they will never see something like that before because they get to see what real football is like. I might come back and have my own club.

The full interview with Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be available on May 3.
