Diego Forlan retires from professional game

New Delhi, Aug 7 

Uruguay great Diego Forlan, who played for Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, has retired from the professional game.

Forlan, 40, who also played for the likes of Inter and Villarreal, along with a memorable run with Atletico Madrid during a fine career in Europe, confirmed his retirement on Tuesday. 

"It hasn't been easy, I didn't want the time to come, but I knew it was going to come," Forlan was quoted as saying by Telemundo. 

"I have decided to stop playing football professionally," he added.

Forlan started his professional career with Independiente in Argentina before earning a move to Man United in January 2002. He won the Premier League with Manchester United in 2002-03 and the FA Cup the following season before joining Villarreal in 2004.
