Falcao can be as good as Shearer at Manchester United

Radamel Falcao has been advised to join Manchester United.

Colombian legend Faustino Asprilla has revealed that he has advised Radamel Falcao to sign for Manchester United.

Falcao has been linked to various clubs, including some big names like Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester City and French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

The 27-year-old Atletico Madrid striker is set to leave the club this summer, and Asprilla, who most notably played for Parma and Newcastle United, has told him that Manchester United is the right club for him.

Asprilla said, “We were talking and he asked me my opinion on who he should join. He knows that every big club in the world wants him. He is not a player motivated by money – what he wants is somewhere that his family will be happy and where he will have success. With teams like Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City they have good times then they have bad times – that is why I told him he must choose Manchester United.”

“Every season they are challenging – and if he wants success that is where I have told him to go. Also they don’t have all the behaviour away from the field – with changing coaches every season. They are steady in all that they do – and a well run club at every level. He is a real family guy – and Radamel will appreciate that and the way that Sir Alex Ferguson protects his players like family.”

Asprilla also compared Falcao to Alan Shearer and said, “It is difficult for me to explain how good he is – he is the best finisher in the world. The only striker who has played in the Premier League who is on his finishing level is Alan Shearer. If he signs for Manchester United – he would be their missing piece in the Champions League. Robin van Persie and Radamel would be unstoppable.’

Radamel Falcao has been in tremendous form this season, scoring 26 times in 30 games so far this season.
