Manchester United’s gazumping of neighbours City for Radamel Falcao will see the odds on their top-four finish fall, much like the torn-out pages of Louis van Gaal’s big black tactics folder as he gets to work on his his new 3-2-5 formation.
While it isn’t the solid-foundation defensive player that everyone outside of Ed Woodward’s mission control believes United need, this signing is a goals guarantee and it also deals a blow to both Manuel Pellegrini and Arsene Wenger, for whom Falcao’s prolific scoring profile would have been perfect.
One of the key reasons Real Madrid stepped back from signing him – and he has been on a plate for them all summer – is that it was understood he would eat into the goals tally of both Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, not to mention replace the president’s favourite Karim Benzema.
