Soccer: Man United to wrap up Forlan signing

Diego Forlan is this morning completing a medical with Manchester United before tying up his £6.9m (€11.2m) move from Independiente.

United have completed the paper work of the deal and checked the details of the Uruguayan striker’s Italian passport.

Forlan, 22, who watched United’s 2-1 win over Blackburn at Old Trafford on Saturday, should become a United player inside the next 24 hours.
