Zlatan Ibrahimovic's long-anticipated move to the Los Angeles Galaxy appears to be happening.

The out-of-favor Manchester United forward has signed with the Major League Soccer club, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday morning. Earlier in the day, ESPN cited sources saying Ibrahimovic had played his last game for United and was close to finalizing a jump to MLS.

The 36-year-old Swede hasn't played for Jose Mourinho's side since Dec. 26 and his contract is set to expire this summer. Mourinho told reporters earlier this month he expected Ibrahimovic would leave the club at the end of the season.

Moving to MLS and getting regular playing time in the coming months could set Ibrahimovic up for a return to Sweden's national team for this summer's World Cup in Russia. He had announced after Euro 2016 that he was retiring from international play.
