MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE completed the shock signing of Colombia striker Radamel Falcao from Monaco on a season-long loan, the Premier League giants announced in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
“MUFC is delighted to announce Radamel Falcao has joined on a 1-year loan from Monaco with an option to buy,” United announced on their Twitter account, alongside a picture of the player posing with a club shirt.
United have reportedly paid Monaco around 10 million euros to secure Falcao’s services for the season, with an option to make the deal permanent for 55 million euros.

The prolific 28-year-old forward, who missed the World Cup due to a serious knee injury, flew into Manchester to complete a medical examination hours before the transfer window closed on Monday evening.
“I am delighted to be joining Manchester United on loan this season,” Falcao said in a statement on the United website.
“Manchester United is the biggest club in the world and is clearly determined to get back to the top.
“I am looking forward to working with (manager) Louis van Gaal and contributing to the team’s success at this very exciting period in the club’s history.”
United had earlier announced the arrival of versatile Netherlands international Daley Blind from Ajax in a deal reportedly worth around £14 million (17 million euros).
They have also sold England forward Danny Welbeck to Arsenal for around £16 million and allowed Mexican striker Javier Hernandez to join Real Madrid on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
Falcao, who has scored 20 goals in 51 appearances for Colombia, has scored two goals in three matches for Monaco this season after making his comeback from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
He will hope to win a place in United’s attack alongside Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney, leaving Van Gaal with a rich pool of striking talent at his disposal.
Van Gaal described Falcao as “one of the most prolific goalscorers in the game”.
He added: “His appearance-to-goal ratio speaks for itself and, when a player of this calibre becomes available, it is an opportunity not to be missed.”
Utd paying £6 million for the loan and a eye-popping 350,000 quid a week in wages to Falcao.
More than £20 million for one player for one season. Watch the ticket prices go up.
Who’ll load the bullets? Carrick?
The team is lopsided. Needed defenders and midfielders of proven quality.
And the team looks far from comfortable, playing 3 at the back.
Then what?
Yeah, I don’t get this £6 million for the Falcao “loan”. How is there a fee involved if it’s a loan deal? Also, is the £6 million paid to Monaco, Falcao or his agent?
Clubs have now started demanding a fee for a loan player, the fee goes to the club, and in most cases with the option to buy tge loan fee gets taken off the transfer fee
Arsenal wouldn’t deal with United when it came to vermalen yet United sell welbeck to them. They might regret that considering his age and potential.
Although he hasn’t scored a competitive goal since March so maybe they think he’s just shite.
There’s no denying Falcao is a great striker,but he is clearly a mercenary. He will go to whoever pays him the biggest salary. Ambitious players go to clubs playing in the champions league and challenging for trophies, mercenaries will lie with whoever pays them the most.
David Silva, Luis Suarez, Yaya Toure, Tevez, assume all these players fall under this bracket then also? I can’t understand the obsession with playing in a competition you have no hope of winning. A player joining united has as much chance of winning the champions league as Arsenal, Liverpool, Monaco and the likes.
The fact United aren’t in the competition…then no, he doesn’t have the same chance of winning it as the players you named. It would be like saying Falcao has the same chance of winning the Premier League as Messi…
You do realise this is Liverpools first year in the CL in 5 and City bought all their top players before they qualified for the first time. So would you not call Suarez, Toure, Silva, Aguero ambitious no? Stop talking crap will you!
@mustard
City had qualified for champions league BEFORE Aguero and Silva arrived and they came from clubs that weren’t playing in Europe.
Toure was a squad player at Barcelona before he joined city.
Suarez was an exciting talent with potential who hadn’t proved anything in a big league before moving to
liverpool
Falcao on the other hand is one of the top 3 strikers in the world and could pick any club he liked. He was flirting with Madrid the day before on twitter. That was the move I expected.
Suddenly a struggling club with more money than sense offer 350000 pounds a week and he’s a united player, good luck with that one.
It’s only a matter of time before the other mercenary in the team starts flirting with other clubs because he wants his 300000 a week salary to match Falcao”s
So by that rationale any player joining United now is purely doing so as a mercenary unless coming from a minnow. There’s no chance these players (Di Maria and Blind) view United as a place where they can be part of a resurgent club finally spending a fraction of their turnover on quality players, playinf infront of 75,000 a week for a world class manager and a club littered with history of winning championships. Also basically using your logic every player worthy of the world class tag should play with Real Madrid or been seen to be taking the mercenary route. How much has Ronaldo won at Madrid compartive to what he did at United? How did Van Nistelrooy and Beckham fare there in comparisson to United…
I’m just talking about Falcao, Di Maria already stated he didn’t want to leave Madrid.
Falcao joined newly rich Monaco last season, they had no champions league football and play in front of 8000 people, what does that tell u about the player? Does he chase football glory or money?
Not what they needed, but I’d take Falcao over Welbeck+Hernandez anyday. £16m for Welbeck is crazy money, hats off to Woodward for selling a very low scoring striker for that money. Overall a decent window for Utd, Blind will be the most important signing I think, still no decent CB in the squad though..
To be fair to Arsenal I doubt very much we were ever really in for Falcao. 345 k a week is way beyond what Wenger would ever pay in wages. Great signing for Utd, might be like Liverpool last year in their “we’ll out score you” approach.
He’s getting 200K a week off United and the test from Monaco. The press pack are all of a sudden obsessed with United’s spending. Shouldn’t it be noted why they are in this position (lack of spending/forward planning), not to mention that United, unlike rivals, are spending their own money. Beats going down a Glazer shaped black hole.
I think blind will be used as a midfielder with shaw playing left back , agree with you that it would’ve been nice to see another centre halve but with rafael and shaw on either side and whatever 3 out of rojo, Evans, jones, smalling, Blackett providing they stay fit there’s a lot of talent in there ,although they are an extremely young defence , in 3 or 4 years they could be one of the best defences in football ,pity vidic was aloud leave and Ferdinand was let go even at his age his experience alone would’ve been great especially considering they didn’t sign another experienced defender not that there’s many great ones out there at the moment anyway.
I know UTD are crying out for a CM & CB but I’d have to say that this is the best/biggest signing ever by any English club ! UTD are normally window shoppers for the best players in the world ! He was by far the best striker in the world before he went to Monaco ! And maybe Di Maria is the 2nd biggest signing ever for an English club ! Great for the premiership !
As a united fan im afraid to say this signing is only going to paper over the cracks we have at the back..!! Will be a hit against smaller teams in which we will have more of the posession..
16 mil for Welbeck and Ballo….. Premium on English players is crazy…. Nice pay day for Falcao…… Cannot say no to that money…… Thats why Madrid fell through…. Great player, but good for team?
If you’re saying its madness that Balloteli and Welbeck cost the same to buy then I think you’re wrong. Balotelli was a great buy at a great price for Liverpool however if Balotelli didn’t have any question marks over his behaviour and attitude he’d be at least double the price. It’s hard to know how to put a price on a player these days, 16 mill for Welbeck might be on the high side but that’s deadline day for you especially when the selling club know you’re desperate.
Maybe so, but it was practically a done deal then it was dead. If that was the case with system and Benzema, then why did or get that far? As for arsenal desperate, look at how they deal in transfers, they are never desperate.
First time in years we have attracted big names to old Trafford. LVG and the money united have is pure gold right now. Our squad has been muck the past few seasons with only 4-5 good players in it. A team like Manchester United shoud have at least 3-4 world class player’s in it and now we do. Roll on this season. Early days yet whoop whoop
It can be a way around ffp rules, we can’t spend x amount now so we will come back in a year. I’d imagine it’s something to do with that,or his recent injury.
John I Connell as an arsenal fan shouldn’t you be more concerned by arsenals lack of signings ? You expect too be challenging for the league yet u buy a cast off from utd? Wenger is delusional arsenal have needed a top centre half and a holding midfielder for the last number of yrs. While chambers could prove too be one of these yet but jury out there. Arsenal top heavy on light fancy players up front
Great to see 2 WC players join the PL, it was a one way street for a while there. Falcao could if the injuries don’t ruin him be a sensation, very similar to Costa. Though United still needed a defensive cover.
He’s an injury risk like van Persie, but both are still capable of scoring a lot of goals in a season. If we can have their injuries on rotation we should be fine.

Delighted Everton dodged a bullet in the shape of Tom Cleverley.
Any bullet with Tom Cleverley’s name on it would clearly missed…
Utd paying £6 million for the loan and a eye-popping 350,000 quid a week in wages to Falcao.
More than £20 million for one player for one season. Watch the ticket prices go up.
Who’ll load the bullets? Carrick?
The team is lopsided. Needed defenders and midfielders of proven quality.
And the team looks far from comfortable, playing 3 at the back.
Then what?
My guess is that LVG will revert to a back 4 and a 4-3-3 formation.
What is striking is the lack of home grown players. All I can count is three on the strongest lineup; Shaw, Young, Rooney.
Yeah, I don’t get this £6 million for the Falcao “loan”. How is there a fee involved if it’s a loan deal? Also, is the £6 million paid to Monaco, Falcao or his agent?
Clubs have now started demanding a fee for a loan player, the fee goes to the club, and in most cases with the option to buy tge loan fee gets taken off the transfer fee
Arsenal wouldn’t deal with United when it came to vermalen yet United sell welbeck to them. They might regret that considering his age and potential.
Although he hasn’t scored a competitive goal since March so maybe they think he’s just shite.
Holy shit,just heard hel be earning 350,000 week! What boll*x
I’m not surprised to be honest…he’s a total mercenary. Still hasn’t played champions league football!
Yes he has – He played in the Champions League in 2010 with Porto
There’s no denying Falcao is a great striker,but he is clearly a mercenary. He will go to whoever pays him the biggest salary. Ambitious players go to clubs playing in the champions league and challenging for trophies, mercenaries will lie with whoever pays them the most.

A player joining united has as much chance of winning the champions league as Arsenal, Liverpool, Monaco and the likes.
Not this year they don’t!
The fact United aren’t in the competition…then no, he doesn’t have the same chance of winning it as the players you named. It would be like saying Falcao has the same chance of winning the Premier League as Messi…
That should be the other way around obviously…
If Falcao joined Roma, Galatasary or Malmo, would that have been a more ambitious move?
You do realise this is Liverpools first year in the CL in 5 and City bought all their top players before they qualified for the first time. So would you not call Suarez, Toure, Silva, Aguero ambitious no? Stop talking crap will you!
@mustard
City had qualified for champions league BEFORE Aguero and Silva arrived and they came from clubs that weren’t playing in Europe.

Brilliant
It’s great signing but feel we need a good holding midfielder & 1-2 more good defenders!! Guess LVG philosophy is all out attack!!
I think blind will be used as a midfielder with shaw playing left back , agree with you that it would’ve been nice to see another centre halve but with rafael and shaw on either side and whatever 3 out of rojo, Evans, jones, smalling, Blackett providing they stay fit there’s a lot of talent in there ,although they are an extremely young defence , in 3 or 4 years they could be one of the best defences in football ,pity vidic was aloud leave and Ferdinand was let go even at his age his experience alone would’ve been great especially considering they didn’t sign another experienced defender not that there’s many great ones out there at the moment anyway.
Kevin Strootman to join in January, possibly?
That’s doing the round. All the Manchester journalists saying strootman will be in
As a gunner I think yous needed to strengthen in at least two different positions! Strange priority!
What’s a matter you Frank? Gotta no respect. It’s a nice’a place… Ahhhh shaddapaya face!
Frank “Yous” as in… female sheep…everyone knows that!
I know UTD are crying out for a CM & CB but I’d have to say that this is the best/biggest signing ever by any English club ! UTD are normally window shoppers for the best players in the world !

As a united fan im afraid to say this signing is only going to paper over the cracks we have at the back..!! Will be a hit against smaller teams in which we will have more of the posession..
United will be like Liverpool last year, plenty of goal scoring, with a lot conceded. Just score more than the opposition and ye’ll be laughing
Alot of egos to be managed.
“United will struggle to sign quality players this transfer window without Champions league football”
LOL
Brent-on Rodgers.
But they did struggle…?
Undeniably talented but if I were a United fan, I’d be a little bit concerned by his injury history. Keep him for and it’s a potential genius move.
Past six seasons he played 40+ games each season. Obviously not last year. His injury record bar last year is perfect.
Falcao wasn’t great for Monaco last season. Not sure if he got over his injury.
Di Maria was excellent in the most part for Real Madrid last season but was mixed before then.
Neither are guaranteed to succeed despite the amount of money thrown at them.
All this without getting into how poor defence and midfield is.
16 mil for Welbeck and Ballo….. Premium on English players is crazy…. Nice pay day for Falcao…… Cannot say no to that money…… Thats why Madrid fell through…. Great player, but good for team?
What exactly are you saying?
If you’re saying its madness that Balloteli and Welbeck cost the same to buy then I think you’re wrong. Balotelli was a great buy at a great price for Liverpool however if Balotelli didn’t have any question marks over his behaviour and attitude he’d be at least double the price. It’s hard to know how to put a price on a player these days, 16 mill for Welbeck might be on the high side but that’s deadline day for you especially when the selling club know you’re desperate.
Graham Madrid didn’t buy him because he doesn’t fit into the system, not because of his money.
And because they have Benzema…
Exactly
Maybe so, but it was practically a done deal then it was dead. If that was the case with system and Benzema, then why did or get that far? As for arsenal desperate, look at how they deal in transfers, they are never desperate.
That’s crazy! Great signing.
Valencia is a ball of poop
First time in years we have attracted big names to old Trafford. LVG and the money united have is pure gold right now. Our squad has been muck the past few seasons with only 4-5 good players in it. A team like Manchester United shoud have at least 3-4 world class player’s in it and now we do. Roll on this season. Early days yet whoop whoop
He’s a great striker obviously but how come they’ve put him on loan with option to buy rather than just selling him?
It can be a way around ffp rules, we can’t spend x amount now so we will come back in a year. I’d imagine it’s something to do with that,or his recent injury.
Oh cheers Davin.
Ah he’ll do a job alright. Has scored 3 times in 5 games since returning from injury. 13 in 20 for Monaco last season. That’s not bad in my books.
Where to play everyone now when all are fit is the biggest conundrum now….

Falcao, while still getting paid an enormous amount, is getting less than he was at Monaco
Great to see 2 WC players join the PL, it was a one way street for a while there. Falcao could if the injuries don’t ruin him be a sensation, very similar to Costa. Though United still needed a defensive cover.
His knee is in bits
He only scored last week, how is it in bits?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28920092
He’s an injury risk like van Persie, but both are still capable of scoring a lot of goals in a season. If we can have their injuries on rotation we should be fine.
De Gea
(L-R) Jones Blind Rojo
Januzaj Herrera Mata fletcher Di Maria

Blind is a wing back, not a centre half.
Falcaos primary motivation is money, thought he’d go for a champions league side
