Radamel Falcao says
Manchester United took a
gamble by signing him from
Monaco this summer.
The Colombian has previously
insisted that he wants to stay
at Old Trafford and
emphasised that desire again as he discussed his move
to the Premier League.
Speaking to Onda
Cero, Falcao
expressed his relief at
joining Louis van
Gaal's team after a
difficult year that
ended in him missing
the World Cup
because of a serious
knee injury.
He said: "Manchester
United were the ones
that gambled on me
when it was very difficult to do so. It has been a very
difficult year, not just in my professional career.
"What happened at the start of the year [serious knee
injury] affected me in every way, but it has also helped
me grow as a human being, to think about many things,
to mature."
United signed Falcao on a season-long loan deal from
Monaco with rumours suggesting there is an option to
buy, something the 28-year-old hopes comes to
fruition.
"In terms of my thoughts and plans for the future, I
want to stay at Manchester United for the coming
years," he added.
"I'm still going to need some time to be ok, but I am
feeling very comfortable and very good on the pitch, in
harmony with myself, with the ball and with football."
Falcao also says he can understand the frustrations of
Monaco fans following his exit, and that of James
Rodrgiguez to Real Madrid, this summer.
Some supporters expressed their anger with Jorge
Mendes, the agent of both Falcao and James, after both
men left the Stade Louis II just 12 months after arriving,
and the team currently sit 13th in Ligue 1.
"Maybe it's understandable because of the expectations
that were generated last season", he added.
"Now they have lowered their spending and kept the
foundations. They have changed the policy and now rely
more on young players who can get good results.
"I am very thankful to them for the good and bad
moments, it all made me grow.
