Diego Forlan: I rejected moves to English clubs this summer
Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan has revealed he rejected a number of offers to return to English football this summer and stated the only club he would play for is Manchester United, .
"I had offers to play in England this summer and last. The only team I will play for in England is Manchester United,’ Forlan wrote in his column for Abu-Dhabi based newspaper The National.
Despite a notable drought of goals in his two years at Old Trafford, Forlan became a fan favourite for his work rate and tenacity on the pitch.
Since leaving in 2004, the now 37-year old has played for Villarreal, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan.
Forlan- winner of the Golden Boot at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa-now turns out for Mumbai City in the Indian Super League.
“If Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford all were out of the picture, I would be happy to go on an emergency loan and help out United.”
Maybe play at Liverpool away, score a goal or two and then make way when the injured come back.” the striker joked.
I had offers from Spain and Italy, too. But I feel that I have done my time in both countries, sampled the life there and enjoyed myself. Now I am ready for something new."
