Man Utd Transfers: 7 Radamel Falcao Alternatives Van Gaal Must Sign

5. Jackson Martinez (Porto)

Over in Portugal, there's another striker bagging the goals year after year, just waiting for his big move. Jackson Martinez has scored more than 17 league goals a season in every year he's played for Porto since moving across from the Mexican top flight, and showed just how clinical he is as Colombia's alternative for Falcao at the World Cup in Brazil last summer. The 28-year-old is now at the peak of his powers, and while United will undoubtedly lock horns with Arsenal for the signature of this man should they go for him, he's got the deadly edge required to be a Premier League sensation. Not only that, he's shown recently that he's got the brains to unlock defences, and the tricky feet to go along with it. His blind backheel assist for Cristian Tello in Porto's 3-0 win over Sporting Lisbon was bloomin' spectacular. He's got to move to the big time soon - surely - but just where he goes is still up in the air.
