Former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan has joined Penarol in his homeland of Uruguay after leaving Japanese side Cerezo Osaka. The 36-year-old’s father, Pablo, used to play for the club, winning the Libertadores Cup and Intercontinental Cup in the 1960s. “With a surname linked to the club’s history, son of a champion of the Americas and the world with Penarol, Diego will wear the yellow and black as he did when he was a boy and dreamt of being a professional footballer,” the club said.
