Diego Forlan's homecoming to Penarol didn't exactly go according to plan.
Appointed manager of the Uruguayan club where he started out his career at the age of 11 - and later returned for a title-winning season in 2015-16 - Forlan lasted just 10 months in the job.
He won four of the 11 matches he took charge of either side of the Covid-19 shutdown and was given the boot last month.
But without realising it, Forlan actually helped out another former club, Manchester United, by giving plenty of game time to a certain Facundo Pellistri.
