United secure Falcao loan

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 05:39 PM PDT

The issue of Colombia striker Falcaos future has been one of the stories of the latter part of the transfer window, with the former Atletico Madrid man linked with an array of clubs across Europe. But United announced hours before the transfer deadline that they had struck an agreement to bring the 28-year-old to Old Trafford, though the deal was not confirmed until the early hours of Tuesday morning (GMT) after the club were granted an extension by the Premier League. United are reported to have paid 6million to seal a loan deal, which includesan option to buy Falcaofor a rumoured 55million (43.5m). I am delighted to be joining Manchester United on loan this season, Falcao told Uniteds official website. Manchester United is the biggest club in the world and is clearly determined to get back to the top. I am looking forward to working with Louis van Gaal and contributing to the teams success at this very exciting period in the clubs history. United manager Louis van Gaal added: I am delighted Radamel has joined us on loan this season. He is one of the most prolific goalscorers in the game. His appearance-to-goal ratio speaks for itself and, when a player of this calibre becomes available, it is an opportunity not to be missed. Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool have all been linked with the 28-year-old, with speculation mounting last Saturday as he was left out of Monacos 1-1 draw with Lille. The same day reports of a message posted on the players official Twitter account appeared to suggest that he was on his way to Real. Falcao sought to clarify matters on Twitter, though, denying a story about a tweet that I have not done. And, after flying into Manchester by private jet on Monday, Falcao has become the latest high-profile signing to move to Unitedfollowing the captures of winger Angel di Maria from Real Madrid for a club-record free and Daley Blind from Ajax as new manager Louis van Gaal aims to restore the club to its former glories. Falcao joined Monaco from Atletico Madrid for a reported 50million in May last year, but has struggled with injuries at the Ligue 1 outfit. A serious knee problem, suffered in January, ruled him out of the World Cupand he has managed just 22 competitive appearances for Monaco, scoring 13 goals.

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 05:32 AM PDT

Real Madrid confirm Hernandez loan deal

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 05:24 AM PDT

Hernandez will spend the 2014-15 season at the Santiago Bernabeu, after a deal was finalisedon Monday. An official statement from the European champions read: "Real Madrid C. F. and Manchester United have reached an agreement for the loan of JavierChicharitoHernandez, who will be at the club throughout this season. "Real Madrid have the option to purchase the player. "JavierChicharitoHernandezwill appear before the media in the Santiago Bernabeu press room today at 16:30 [15:30 BST]." The signing of Hernandezadds further depth to a Real side bursting at the seams with attacking talent. And while it is almost certain that the Mexico internationalwill play a supporting role to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and James Rodriguez, the club's packed fixture list could give him several chances to shine. Hernandez has made just two appearances for United this season,both coming in defeats. He started the club's 2-1 opening-day loss to Swansea City at Old Trafford but was hauled off at half-time, and he did little to convince new United manager Louis van Gaal in last week's shock 4-0 League Cup defeat to third-tier outfit MK Dons. Thestriker joined United in 2010 from Guadalajara and quickly established himself as a fans'favourite. He scored 19 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions in 2010-11as the Old Trafford outfit won the Premier League and reached the UEFA Champions League final. Hernandez weighed in with 10 goals in each of the 2011-12 and 2012-13 Premier League seasons but managed just four top-flightgoals last term in a campaign that saw him make only sixstarts.

Posted: 01 Sep 2014 01:16 AM PDT

The Netherlands international is poised to complete a switch to Old Trafford on Monday after current club Ajax accepted a bid of £13.8 million from United. Blind is quoted by The Telegraph as saying: "Igot a call on Friday night [telling me] that the clubs had agreed a deal. "I was with my girlfriend and we went to my parentsto drink a glass of wine. "I am enormously proud to be at one of the biggest clubs in the world. Everything has happened so suddenly. "What exactly has gone off in the background, only my agent and my dad know, but it was a very exciting and tense time." It is unclear which position the left-sided Blind is likely to adopt at United, where he will link up with former national team coach Louis van Gaal. The 24-year-old was utilised in a variety of positions by Van Gaalat the recent World Cup in Brazil. Blind added:"Did I speak with Louis van Gaal in the last few days about the role I am going to play at United? We did have some informal contact, but the conversations which took place stay between him and me. "I just want to be part of the team, in whatever role that is going to be, in defence or in midfield."
