Atletico Madrid star Diego Forlan has revealed how Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson called him ahead of Villarreal's Champions League about how to beat Arsenal!

Forlan said: "I was having a drink in Villarreal, when a friend answered my mobile.

"It was just before we played Arsenal and he wanted to tip me off."

Forlan went on to win the European Golden Boot twice with Villarreal and his current club Atletico Madrid.

He turned down the chance to return to English football with his old United skipper Roy Keane when he was Sunderland boss.
