Former Manchester United favourite Cristiano Ronaldo has given his approval to the club’s signing of Radamel Falcao and reiterated his desire to return to Old Trafford one day.
United signed Colombia striker Falcao from Monaco on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day and will be able to make the deal permanent next year for a fee of around 55 million euros ($72.3 million).
Several observers questioned the move for Falcao at a time when United are bereft of experienced players in central defence, but Ronaldo believes it was a good piece of business.
“He is a very good player. I think United did very well,” the Portugal captain said in an interview published in Thursday’s edition of the Daily Telegraph.
“I don’t think it is wrong. He will be a fantastic buy. United have not started well, with only two points from three games, so they need quality players.
