Radamel Falcao has stated how much he is enjoying the challenge after signing for Manchester United on loan until the end of the season. The Columbian striker is widely regarded as one of the most lethal strikers on the planet and he is looking to adapt his style quickly to suit the Premier League.
Falcao scored his first Manchester United goal against Everton, a goal that guided his side to a 2-1 victory. He expressed on Twitter how much his first goal meant to him, sharing a photo a fan captured of him celebrating with his teammates:

In a revealing interview with Futbol Red, Falcao said “My family and I are happy here, we’d like to stay many years at Manchester United.” This is an exciting prospect for Man United fans, who would love to say Falcao sign permanently at the end of the season.
Man United have an option in the deal to do just that, with a $68.7 million clause inserted so that they can purchase him from French team Monaco outright. Real Madrid expressed a lot of interest in Falcao in the summer and could well try and rival Man United, but at first glance Falcao seems very happy in the Premier League.
Still perfecting the English language, it is clear Falcao is hungry to succeed in the Premier League and is looking to improve so that he can become the league’s top goalscorer. He said in the same interview that he is trying to learn about the league.
“Exactly movements, search spaces in a league where there are none, where the game is intense and the pace is dizzying. One must know how to find the time to look for spaces. Something like that happened as my first goal, find the space to be well positioned for any pass or kick of my teammates. ”
