United want Falcao! Fergie lines up £47m swoop for Atletico star... with Hernandez heading to Spain in swap

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has joined the hunt for Atletico Madrid's £47million-rated striker Radamel Falcao.

Manchester City and Chelsea have both been strongly linked with Falcao,
who has established himself as one of the world's most prolific
marksmen by scoring 54 goals for Atletico since arriving in Spain from
Porto in 2011. 

But it is understood United have
now joined the bidding for the 27-year-old Colombia star and are prepared to
let striker Javier Hernandez move to Madrid as part of the deal.

The Premier League leaders are ready
to meet the £47m buyout clause in Falcao's contract by offering Atletico
£27m cash plus Hernandez, who they value at £20m.

Although reports in Spain yesterday suggested that a downpayment has
already been made, it is believed that United's interest is still in its
early stages.

If they were to land Falcao it
would be a bitter blow to Chelsea, who thought they were winning the
race to sign him, and City boss Roberto Mancini who believes Robin van
Persie's decision to choose Old Trafford over the Etihad Stadium last
summer has been a key factor in this season's title battle.

However,
any club wanting to sign Falcao will have to resolve an issue of
third-party ownership due to the fact that a company run by former
United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon and agent Jorge Mendes
has owned a stake in the player since helping to finance his £34m move
from Porto.

That would be amazing if it happens, but I love Chicharito (I would rather swap Welbeck)

Welbeck has a promising future, and Chicharito shows up in the big games. I would never sell either Rooney or RVP anytime soon, so I'll be frank. You guys are the LAST team that needs Falcao.

dailymail. this means Messi has a higher chance of coming to United than Falcao.

I think I should apply for the a job at the Daily Mail.

I dream up random nonsense all the time! I'll only require a salary of £40,000

after a long think i think lewandowski would be a better choice as Falcao has scored 22 goals and 1 assists in 27 games and Lewandowski has 21 goals and 5 assists in 25 games and also Falcao is 27 and Lewandoski is 24 still pretty young.

@20RVP

Get your facts straight. Falcao has scored 28 in 33, and Lewa 29 in 40. Falcao's strike percentage is MUCH better. And you should also take into consideration that Dortmund are a better team than Atletico, so Lewa gets more quality passes than Falcao at the moment.

^ AND Falcao is pretty much 3rd best in the WORLD right now, and he is both-footed! +1 Dynastian

calm down  i was talking about bundesliga and la liga not the whole thing lewandowski has now he same goals in the league as falcao and has one game less then him has more assists so yeah. 

Yeah what? Thats just a stupid thing to do... like saying Ronaldo scored 11/11 games Messi didn't... hehe only talking about CL :/

I was reading this and thought, yeah, they could actually buy him... WHY THE HELL DO THEY NEED HIM? 

It's pretty odd, Hernandez and Welbeck are young and talented, Rooney still gets goals. 

Do you people really need more forwards? You can't even fit BvB-top Kagawa in regularly. Jesus.

^ I agree 

Read an article saying that Ferguson just dropped out of the race for falcao, the star is probably leaving to Man City Or Chelsea.

Like I said many times before Manchester United Gets linked with everyone. Doesn't mean we actually want them. It's just newspaper and gossip sites trying to sell an article. 

Falcao to United? I don't fell it. But he ever plays against them, he would rape United.
