Forlan and the Da Silvas visit Carrick's Reds
Michael Carrick and the Manchester United players were visited by no fewer than three fan favourites on Saturday morning.
Diego Forlan and the Da Silva twins, Fabio and Rafael, all returned to Carrington on the eve of Sunday’s Old Trafford blockbuster against Liverpool.
Once a Red, always a Red, the South American trio were welcomed back to the training ground and allowed to watch our final session ahead of matchday.

Forlan has been intrinsically linked to United’s rivalry with Liverpool since scoring a legendary brace at Anfield in 2003, and his name is still chanted at games to this day.
Rafael also scored a stunning goal against Liverpool on Merseyside in 2012. Like his brother Fabio, the Brazilian embraced everything about United culture and fandom.

As you can see in our exclusive behind-the-scenes photography, Forlan spent time catching up with his fellow Uruguayan Manuel Ugarte.
The Da Silva twins can also be seen chatting to their former team-mates Carrick and Jonny Evans.
