Forlán: I told Suárez to join Manchester United after he asked me if he should stay at Liverpool

I'm not sure if Diego Forlán was hiding in a nuclear bunker when the whole Luis Suárez-racially-abused-Patrice Evra story came to light, but the ex-Manchester United striker has advised his compatriot to make the move from Liverpool to Old Trafford regardless.

The Mirror translated the quotes from Brazilian sports paper Lance!:

"We spoke a few days ago. He asked me if I think he should stay at Liverpool. All I told him was to think about going to Manchester United. I know he loves Liverpool, the fans and the city, but I think the best thing for his career would be to move to Old Trafford."

lol.

It sure would be funny to see how Liverpool fans took to such a switch, but after all Suárez has done to our dear Patrice, I don't think this one could ever be a goer. At least it's nice to see Forlán still endearing himself to our Merseyside rivals, after he famously "came from Uruguay; he made the Scousers cry" back in 2002-03.

That was over a decade ago. Yep, you're old.
