Man Utd signing Falcao: I feel spectacular

Manchester United signing Radamel Falcao says he feels in "spectacular shape" after playing for Colombia against Brazil.

Falcao was a second-half substitute in the 1-0 defeat.

"I'm so happy to be back and to have this opportunity life has granted me after the injury," he said. "I'm excited about being able to join Manchester United. I hope to score a lot of goals for them -that is something I have done everywhere I have played.

"Because of the injury I felt so nervous before this game, almost like it was my first time with the national team. I expect it will be the same before I play my first game for United.

"Physically I feel spectacular. I have been able to play without any kind of trouble whatever. Throughout my rehab people have given me so much support and sent me so many kind messages. I want to thank them by giving them as much happiness as possible. As time passes and I get into game shape, I believe I will show I'm still at the top level."
