Radamel Falcao: Manchester United are "the best team in England"

Radamel Falcao believes that he is joining the "best team in England" after signing for Manchester United.

The Monaco forward officially signed for the Red Devils in the early hours of Tuesday morning, and the Colombian international thinks that the year-long loan stay is ideal.

He told the club's official website: "For me, it was a dream to play in the Premier League. I always wanted to be here because this league is very good, it has very good teams and Manchester United is the best team in England. Everything is perfect for me.

"We have very top players. I admire them. I want to meet them for the first time. I am sure that this season will be great for us.

"I need [my teammates] to train my English. I think they will help me in a lot of things to feel comfortable in the club."

Meanwhile United boss Louis van Gaal claimed that he couldn't turn down the chance to sign the former Atletico Madrid star.
