Radamel Falcao says he's joined Manchester United with his eyes wide open. The former Porto and Atletico Madrid star knows what he is getting into. He understands his new club's fall from grace and the fact that they have spent £150m this summer trying to put it right.
"It is a dream come true to play for such a great and famous club," he said. "To bring the good times back is what we all want and I will work extra hard to do that. United are an historic club, one of the three best clubs in the world. "They've made me feel very important in this new project and I'm very pleased and happy to have joined them.
"There has been too much speculation about other clubs but that's in the past now and I've chosen to join Manchester United. Going there was always in my best interests."
