Flop Forlan’s days at United nearly over

DIEGO FORLAN’S unspectacular Manchester United career looked to be drawing to a close last night after the club agreed to sell the striker to Villarreal.

The Uruguay international, who infamously needed 27 games to score his first goal for club, has failed to impress at Old Trafford since his £7.5 million move from Independiente in January 2002.

United had high hopes for the 25-year-old after beating Middlesbrough to his signature but he managed just 10 goals in 63 Premiership appearances.
