Forlan eyes England return

(GSM) – Atletico Madrid’s Diego Forlan would be interested in a move back to England. The Uruguay striker had an unsuccessful stint with Manchester United earlier in his career where he had to wait eight months to score his first goal.

Forlan left Old Trafford after a disappointing two-and-a-half year stay but then went on to become one of the best forwards in Spain with Villarreal. After three excellent seasons with the club, he moved to Atletico Madrid.

Forlan helped fire Atletico to Europa League glory last season and has been linked with several European top clubs.

The 31-year-old maintains he would be willing to return to the Premier League in the future if an agreement suits all involved parties.

“If there is an offer and it’s good for Atletico and good for me I would be really happy to go back to England. But it will have to be good,” he said.

“If a big chance to return to England came up, I would have to look at it. I loved my time in English football – the people, the fans, the football, everything.

“I wasn’t sad the way it ended at United to be honest. I was really happy during my time there and thank the people at United for how they treated me.

“During my period there I learnt a lot of things and had a good relationship with everyone. The reason I left was because I didn’t have the chance to play as regularly as I wanted.

“Now I have the chance to play regularly the way I wanted and I am really happy I’m doing that.”
