Manchester United fans are in for a treat soon, the club are set to welcome Radamel Falcao back from injury and, as the cliche goes, it'll be like a new signing. Falcao has struggled with injury and general match fitness since arriving in Manchester on loan from AS Monaco just as the summer transfer window shut. The Colombian's problems date back to a knee injury which forced him to miss the World Cup in Brazil.
Falcao being out of the tournament allowed James Rodriguez to become Colombia's latest star player and the attacker got himself a move to Real Madrid for a huge transfer fee which in turn led to Angel Di Maria going to Old Trafford.
Despite James Rodriguez being the new kid on the block and having a brilliant World Cup, it is still Falcao who Colombians rate higher.
DirecTv in the country held a poll asking fans who had been the best Colombian footballer of recent times. In 5th place was Juan Cuadrado with 10%, in 4th place was Sevilla's Carlos Bacca with 7%, and coming in at 3rd was Teo Gutierrez who plays for Argentina's River Plate.
The top two places were only going to be contested by two men, with Porto's Jackson Martinez nowhere to be seen. James Rodriguez got 35% in a play-off between the two but Falcao was way ahead on 65%.
They adore that man in Colombia, Manchester United fans are beginning to as well - just wait until he starts to repay that!
