“I met David [Beckham] when I played in PSG and he talked a lot about Galaxy, the experience he had in America, he was all positive,” Zlatan said to Major League Soccer.
“He was like: ‘You should come over, go over, and try it out, play there’ and he said everything is fantastic, it’s in progress, but to be part of it is something amazing and something he was proud of.
