Diego Forlan interview: Sir Alex bet on me to beat Van Nistelrooy at tennis – he won

The Telegraph  

When it came to the most lethal shots, Diego Forlán had the upper hand on interim Manchester United head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy - on the tennis court. And as he embarks on his latest sporting adventure, he has been recalling the times his two sporting loves intersected, including the moment Sir Alex Ferguson backed him to overcome his Dutch strike partner. “On a pre-season tour in Oregon, USA, we played on a Nike tennis court with Van Nistelrooy,” Forlán said. He was a competitive guy like no other.” Forlán first took up tennis in his early years, claiming he got his first racquet at the age of two.
