Forlan, ex-Man Utd striker, ready for his professional tennis debut

The former striker, now 45 years old, officially hung up his boots in 2019, bidding farewell to professional football. However, his passion for sports still burns bright, as he continues to keep himself active and involved in various athletic pursuits.

Forlan, who was a tennis player in his teens, has been playing ITF Masters events in the 45 and over category.

Now he is set to make his professional tennis debut in an ATP doubles event in Uruguay.

Forlan won the European Golden Shoe on two occasions when he was playing in Spain for Villarreal and Atletico Madrid.

His time at United did include periods of struggle, but he has remained a fan favorite to this day.
