Mino Raiola hailed the impact of Zlatan Ibrahimovic on MLS and suggested the competition should be renamed after the Swedish star.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's sensational start to life with LA Galaxy has turned the MLS into "the MLZ", according to his agent Mino Raiola.
The 36-year-old striker made an immediate impact as he started life in California with two goals in a 19-minute cameo that helped Galaxy come from three goals down to win 4-3 against Los Angeles FC.
Ibrahimovic was expected to have a big impact after swapping Manchester for LA and he quickly made his presence felt at StubHub Center, his stunning first goal giving his new fans a moment to remember.
Such was his impact on the LA derby, Raiola has already suggested the league should be renamed after their new superstar.
