Falcao a fantastic signing for Man Utd – Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo says Manchester United’s loan signing of Radamel Falcao, is a “fantastic” piece of business and will give the underperforming squad a boost.
The Colombian completed his season-long switch from Monaco, on transfer deadline day after Louis van Gaal beat off interest from Manchester City, Real Madrid and Arsenal.
United will pay a €12.5million loan fee and a significant portion of his €380,000-a-week wages, but Ronaldo feels Falcao represents a coup for his former club.
“He is a very good player, I think Manchester United have done well to sign him. We are talking about a top player here and a fantastic signing.” Ronaldo said.
Falcao became United’s sixth major summer signing after Luke Shaw, Ander Herrera, Marcos Rojo, Angel Di Maria and Daley Blind, even though the Red Devils are yet to record a competitive win under new boss Van Gaal.
On the opening day of the Premier League season, they had a home loss to Swansea. This was followed by draws with Sunderland and Burnley and a 4-0 hammering in the hands of lower-league MK Dons in the League Cup.

“Manchester United have not had a good start with only two points, so the squad needed someone of Falcao’s quality,” Ronaldo added.
