Manchester United have arguably struck THE deal of the summer in signing Radamel Falcao on loan from AS Monaco. The shock move came about this morning with Falcao tipped heavily to move to the Premier League, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal all keen on signing him from the Ligue 1 club. But in the end it's United who are the lucky side, with the Red Devils agreeing a £6 million move at midday. The Colombian is now expected to fly into Manchester to undergo a medical and agree personal terms and is expected in the city at ten to 5 this afternoon, according to talkSPORT radio. The reaction to Falcao's transfer to United has been so far positive with 90% of the fans who completed our poll believing the prolific marksman will be a hit at Old Trafford, with only 10% expressing concern over the move. Manager Louis van Gaal will be hoping it works out, with the Dutchman in need of a lift following a difficult start to his reign in charge. But just who is Radamel Falcao?
