Before turning out to be a half decent player in stints with Villareal and Atletico Madrid, Diego Forlan was known for being an underwhelming Manchester United back-up for the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy. Despite being largely crap during his time in Manchester, he became something of a cult hero at Old Trafford after unexpectedly scoring a brace in an away victory at rivals Liverpool (albeit with the help of a clanger from Jerzy Dudek). Nowadays, the 36-year-old has settled back in his native Uruguay where he plays for Penarol. And in this footage, Forlan takes on Liverpool once more - only this time, it's Uruguay's Liverpool. Once again, it seems to bring out the best in him, as he rolls back the years to slalom past a few defenders before sliding the ball across for a team-mate for a simple tap in. https://youtu.be/B_kZnojsou4
