Manchester United & Real Madrid To Lock Horns Again Over Colombian International Falcao

Champions League Winners Manchester United and La Liga Champions Real Madrid are in a race to sign Colombian International Rademel Falcao Garcia from River Plate, according to reports in Spain.

River Plate have already rejected a bid of €15million(£11.9m) for the 22-year-old striker from Serie A side AC Milan, and Aston Villa have also been linked to Falcao, who has scored 38 goals in 58 appearances for River Plate.

Now it appears that the two clubs at the centre of the Cristiano Ronaldo saga, will lock horns again for the Colombian front-man, something his agent Nestor Sivori confirmed.

"He is being followed by both clubs." Sivori said.

Also stating: "nothing is concrete, but when the right moment comes they will analyze all their possibilities".

Falcao added: "I'm happy for this interest, because it will surely allow River to continue growing.

"I haven't received any offers and for now I will stay at River Plate".
