Radamel Falcao dumps Manchester United for Chelsea
Chelsea will complete the signing of Radamel Falcao this week. The
Colombian flopped on loan at Manchester United from Monaco last season
but wants to stay in the Premier League.
On 1 September 2014, Manchester United agreed to sign Falcao on loan for £6 million subject to a medical examination with an option to sign permanently for £43.5 million (€55 million) at the end.
The deal saw him earn £265,000-a-week at the club. Manchester City had previously opted out of signing him due to squad size.
United confirmed the transfer in the early hours of 2 September.
Despite joining temporarily under a loan contract, Falcao said he would fight to stay at United for many years and become a legend at the club.
He made his debut at Old Trafford on 14 September, playing the final 23 minutes of a 4–0 win over Queens Park Rangers in place of Juan Mata, as United won for the first time in the season.
His debut was marked by rapturous applause from the club's supporters as they continuously chanted his name both while he was warming up and on the pitch.
On 5 October, he scored his first goal for United, the winner in a 2–1 home victory against Everton.
