Falcao eyeing a long Reds stay

Date published: 07 October 2014


RADAMEL Falcao scored his first goal in English football and then spelled out his desire to remain at Manchester United beyond the end of the season.

Falcao started repaying some of the money United have invested in him by scoring the winner in the 2–1 victory over Everton at Old Trafford.

The Colombian, who also cleared a Phil Jagielka effort off the line in the second half, is on loan from Monaco until the end of the season.

United will have to stump up £43million if they want to sign him permanently next summer - and the Colombian hopes they do.

“Me and my family are happy here, and we would like to stay for many years at Manchester United,’ Falcao said.

Falcao’s strike lifted United into the top four for the first time this season.
