Falcao - 'Just a step away from Manchester United'. Via HITC SPORT


Manchester United are being linked with Falcao.
News like a bombshell is emerging from Spain this morning, although time will tell ultimately if it is news, or simply paper gossip column fodder.
Spanish newspaper Marca have sensationally claimed that Manchester United have entered the bidding for Falcao.
The Colombian striker is the most sought after striker in world football, valued at £50 million, and a target for Chelsea and Manchester City.
It is being reported that United have made a 'down payment' to Atletico Madrid, to guarantee his transfer.
Marca state that a similar move was made by United with regard to the transfer of David de Gea two seasons ago, and the clubs maintain a positive working relationship.
Atletico recently convened a meeting along with Falcao's agent admitted they stood little chance of matching offers put to the player this summer, and cashing in was likely their best option.
Falcao's agent is Jorge Mendes, who also represents United target Ezequiel Garay, and Anderson, Nani, and Cristiano Ronaldo among others.
The advantages of United going after Falcao are simple - he brings guaranteed goals, and as Robin van Persie has shown this season at crucial times, goals lead to titles.
It is exactly why City and Chelsea want to sign him to catch up with United, so if Sir Alex Ferguson could tempt the player to Old Trafford then it would be a major blow to their rivals.
What it would mean however is an almost certain exit for Javier Hernandez in attack, who is already struggling for gametime, and has even been linked with Atletico Madrid in recent weeks.
It could also lead to questions over Wayne Rooney's future, with the Englishman himself being linked with a big money move to PSG, which is one way United could finance a Falcao deal.
They also have players like Anderson, Young, Vidic and Nani who they could sell to raise funds to put towards an ambitious transfer.
If Marca's report is true - with them writing in their headline Falcao is just 'a step away from United', then it is exciting news for fans of the club, but their articles lacks sources to verify the claims, so we will simply have to wait and see how this one develops.
Do you think Falcao to United is even possible?

These are Said to Be the Best Goalkeepers in the World, Ranking from 1-25

25. Stephane Ruffier, Saint-Etienne Had Stephane Ruffier not sustained a groin injury in 2011, Monaco might never have been relegated to Ligue 2. But he did, and they were, and that summer the then-24-year-old goalkeeper joined Saint-Etienne, rebuffing Manchester City in the progress. This season he played all 38 Ligue 1 matches for Les Verts for a second season in succession, conceding just 32 goals as his side finished a surprising fifth in the standings and qualified for the Europa League. 24. Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...
