Five Strikers Manchester United Should Target To Replace Wayne Rooney

Posted by

3. Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid)

The Colombian striker has had another excellent season with Atletico Madrid this year, scoring 30 goals in all competitions and catching the eye of Chelsea and Real Madrid. Although the player is said to be settled in Madrid, Manchester United are known to be interested, and would possibly land themselves one of the world’s deadliest finishers if they secured his signature. The former Porto man is destined for great things, and Old Trafford would certainly be a fitting stage for his talents. His goal-poaching abilities would probably move van Persie into a slightly deeper role, but this could be more beneficial than Rooney being moved around into unfamiliar positions. Big-spending French clubs Monaco and PSG are also interested, and the 27-year-old certainly won’t come cheap, as great a signing as he would be. Behind only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in La Liga’s scoring charts, and probably the biggest name alongside Malaga’s Isco to be leaving Spain this summer.
