Falcao a fantastic signing for Man Utd – Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo feels Manchester United’s loan signing of Radamel
Falcao is a “fantastic” piece of business and will give the
underperforming squad a boost.
The Colombian completed his season-long switch from Monaco on transfer
deadline day after Louis van Gaal beat off interest from Manchester City
and Arsenal.
United will pay a €12.5 million loan fee and a significant portion of
his €380,000-a-week wages but Ronaldo feels Falcao – who was also linked
with a move to Real Madrid – is a coup for his former club.
“He is a very good player, I think Manchester United have done well to
sign him,” Ronaldo told reporters. “We are talking about a top player
here and a fantastic signing.”
Falcao became United’s sixth major summer signing after Luke Shaw, Ander
Herrera, Marcos Rojo, Angel Di Maria and Daley Blind, but they are yet
to record a competitive win under new boss Van Gaal.
A home loss to Swansea on the opening day of the Premier League season
was followed by draws with Sunderland and Burnley and a 4-0 Capital One
Cup humiliation at the hands of lower-league MK Dons.
And Ronaldo has backed Falcao is improve United’s fortunes, with his
arrival proving a boost for his new team-mates.
He continued: “Manchester United have not had a good start with only two
points, so the squad needed someone of Falcao’s quality.”
