However, the 34-year-old said he could have ended up at United’s rivals after legitimate approaches from City and the Gunners.
“I was close to moving to the Premier League twice,” Ibrahimovic told Spanish newspaper the Marca.
“I had offers from Arsenal and then Manchester City. But it never happened. I never needed to play in the Premier League.”
Ibrahimovic has made a stunning start to his Red Devils career, scoring four goals in four matches.
Jose Mourinho’s men have collected maximum points from their opening three games and host a significant early-season Manchester derby on Saturday.
