STICKING THE BOOT IN - Diego Forlan has revealed why he left Manchester United five years ago. And no, it's not because he was rubbish. Apparently, it's all down to him wearing the wrong kind of boots. Forlan explains: "Ferguson wanted me to play with high studs, the interchangeable ones that suit wet pitches, but I feel more comfortable in low ones. I agreed to change, but I didn't and, against Chelsea, I slipped in front of goal and wasted a chance. Afterwards, I rushed to the dressing room to change boots, but Ferguson caught me. He grabbed the boots and threw them. That was my last game for United." Still, Fergie and Forlan do hook up from time to time...whenever Fergie wants help with scouting. "When we were in London [with Villarreal before a Champions League game against Arsenal] Ferguson showed up at our hotel," Forlan added. "I still have a good relationship with Sir Alex and his brother Martin. We have conversations and sometimes he asks me about South American players I might know of." Ah, true friendship.
