Man Utd Transfers: 7 Things You Need To Know About Falcao

4. He Has A Proven Track Record Against English Opposition

Manchester United have a forward line that will leave Premier League defences quaking in their football boots this season. Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and British transfer record signing Angel Di Maria had already formed a frightful foursome and Radamel Falcao's addition to the side will only make them more menacing going forward. And United's domestic rivals have every reason to be afraid because Falcao has a proven track record for destroying English teams - just ask Chelsea. The Blues took on Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup final in 2012, and the defending European champions were dismantled 4-1 as Falcao struck a hat-trick. In doing so, Falcao became the first player in history to score a hat-trick in a single legged format - and that's just a glimpse of what the Colombian is capable of. United will certainly be hoping he can emulate such performances by blowing away more Premier League defences over the course of his season-long loan deal, and if he can, the Red Devil's notorious on-field problems could soon be a thing of the past.
