Falcao thrilled to be playing with Di Maria at Man Utd

Radamel Falcao is thrilled to be playing with Angel di Maria at Manchester United. Di Maria cost the Red Devils a British-record £59.7m and has already shown glimpses of his ability in a United shirt.

Falcao said: "When I was at Monaco, I tried to get him to join me there.

"He [Di Maria] is a key player, compliments are short in order to describe him. I know how much he can benefit a striker. He is going to be very helpful to me.

"We speak the same language, we are both south Americans.

"He is going to give an extra [boost] to Manchester United with his great talent."
