The Swedish striker, who scored 29 goals in 53 appearances over a 21-month period at Manchester United, told the Daily Mirror that he had the chance to join the rivals of the cities of his future club at the beginning of the decade.
Ibrahimovic was unhappy in Barcelona after getting scrambled with manager Pep Guardiola. Manchester City, a great spender, wanted to sign him as a strike partner for Carlos Tevez.
But the 37-year-old, who is currently playing for LA Galaxy in the MLS, has instead decided to join Milan on loan because he felt the move from City was too risky.
"I had the chance to go to Manchester City when I was in Barcelona but after that time in Barcelona, I had to find happiness," he said.
"Back in Italy, I was happy in Italy and I knew I would be happy if I came back, I did not know if I would be happy if I went to City because it was a different challenge.
"It would have been a new club, which Milan has also been. But I knew the city because I was three years old in Inter, I knew the country, so I took a little security card. "
Ibrahimovic joined Milan on a permanent basis in 2011 and spent four years at PSG before signing for Manchester United in 2016.
