Forlan rules out English return

Forlan rules out English return

Uruguay striker Diego Forlan has ruled out ever returning to the Premier League although he insists he has fond memories of his time with Manchester United. The 31-year-old has scored three goals as Uruguay have made their way to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ semi-finals where they face the Netherlands tonight.

Forlan was an integral part of the Atletico Madrid side that won the UEFA Europa League, scoring a vital goal against Liverpool in the semi-final before his late strike secured the trophy for the Spanish side in the final against Fulham.

However, he endured a turbulent two-and-half-year period in England when he took 27 games to score for Manchester United and he left for Villarreal in August 2004. Now Forlan maintains he will never return to play in England despite being linked with Tottenham.
