He was a comedy figure at United.
'We'll only sit down when Forlan scores'. Couldn't believe my eyes when shortly after the £#%&!er was scoring a hat trick at the Nou Camp. He was absolute bobbins for us. Probably the worst striker of the PL era out of those who played a fair few games for us. Always seemed like a decent lad tho. |

Legend. Made the scousers cry and forced a rule change in the Premier League.
Got a bit of gear signed from him when handed out prizes at a tennis tournament arranged by my grandparents (mad into his tennis apparently). Got rid of it all when he moved to La Liga. Regretted it a year later. |

Liked him.
Genuinely did well when he got a run in the team. But he was hopeless towards the end and needed a move - confidence was totally shot. Probably the best South American to ever play for us. Off the top of my head probably the only ex or current United player to ever win the Golden Ball at a World Cup?? Edit. Second - Charlton won it in 66. |

Decent lad who worked hard, but he was absolutely horrific for us. Love the revisionism after it became apparent elsewhere he was actually pretty good - ‘Well I was always rated him tbh....’ He was universally derided at United. The party thread on RI when he left was £#%&!ing huge. |

Was excellent at home alongside RvN against Newcastle at OT when we @#%&!ted them for instance, made a couple and should've scored a couple IIRC |

Nor was he recovering from a big injury like Falcao. Although I wonder if Falcao's lob against Leicester in that 5-3 game was an inch or two lower whether things may have been different. He never came close to showing any technical skill for the remaining eight months of the season. |
