On-loan striker Radamel Falcao is still having to fight off other players for a starting role at Old Trafford and is eager to make his loan from Monaco a permanent deal at the end of the season.
Speaking to the media recently about how he likes Manchester, and how he has settled in to living in England, the Colombian international said: “I’m good. My family are comfortable. We’re enjoying life in Manchester and here at the club.
“The people have been great with me, with my family. We’re happy and very grateful. Right from the start, they [my teammates] welcomed me.
“They supported me and helped me with whatever I needed. They are a really humble group of players, really decent and, well, I was taken aback by how kind they’ve been.”
El Tigre went on to say how he preferred playing in the Premiership rather than in France:
“Defenders are stronger and more aggressive. In a good way, you know? It’s intense and, well, overall just more physical.”
So far the striker has only managed three goals this season and manager Louis van Gaal will be expecting more from his if he is to justify his price tag of £43 million and a salary of £300,000-a-week.
