We don't have room for him unless we offload someone (cue Rooney rumours). Mind you, we said the same thing when we were being linked with RVP.
Fergie would love to sign him.

That denial along with Fergies are seriously unconcvincing. If you can call it a denial.
Didn't David De Gea also say he had no idea about the United rumours just before he went on duty with Spain? It could well just be him saving face to show he's committed to Athletico until the end of the season. And Ferguson wouldn't announce a transfer until it's sealed, so him denying it doesn't really mean anything.
Still, I have my doubts it will happen at all.

Ah c'mon rock me Radamel...
... the fact that both Falcao and Fergie have felt the need to bullshit rumours suggests there is a possible deal in the pipeline.
Zlatan named but no Suarez? Zlatan isn't even in my top 10.
But who else would talk/deny/bullshit about this deal? Those are the two who are mainly concerned with it.
There's plenty of names United get linked to, but you never see Fergie even bother commenting.
Because not everyone who is linked to United is as big as Falcao. Or maybe Fergie was specifically asked about Falcao in his press conference and hence he answered. For example we were linked to Izaguirre and Mandana I think two years ago. But I dont remember Fergie mentioning anything about them, because they arent really someone anyone is concerned with even if they move (no offense to either of them).
Why would he comment on DDG before we signed him, he was hardly a "big" player back then?
He was a huge prospect for a couple of years before we were in for him. He did tremendously well for Athletico since he took over from Asenjo. And also the fee might have played a part in it. I think everyone knew he wouldnt come cheap. That coupled with the fact that we were looking at a 19/20 year old to replace a legend of the game at probably the biggest club in the world. Not many big teams have the balls to do what we did.
Daily Mail today has him as a done deal to Chelsea. £46m and £200k/week.
Make of that what you will.
Colombian legend Faustino Asprilla has revealed that he has told compatriot Radamel Falcao to sign for Manchester United.
The 27-year-old Atletico Madrid striker has been the subject of intense transfer speculation with Chelsea and Manchester City amongst a number of clubs interested.
But former Newcastle forward Asprilla believes the £46million-rated star should head to Old Trafford this summer if he wants to regularly challenge for trophies.
Asprilla said: ‘We were talking and he asked me my opinion on who he should join. He knows that every big club in the world wants him. He is not a player motivated by money - what he wants is somewhere that his family will be happy and where he will have success.
'With teams like Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City they have good times then they have bad times - that is why I told him he must choose Manchester United. Every season they are challenging - and if he wants success that is where I have told him to go.
‘Also they don't have all the behaviour away from the field - with changing coaches every season. They are steady in all that they do - and a well run club at every level. He is a real family guy - and Radamel will appreciate that and the way that Sir Alex Ferguson protects his players like family.'
Asprilla also believes Falcao will be the only player ever to play in the Barclays Premier League who can rival the finishing ability of Alan Shearer.
‘It is difficult for me to explain how good he is - he is the best finisher in the world. The only striker who has played in The Premiership who is on his finishing level is Alan Shearer. If he signs for Manchester United - he would be their missing piece in The Champions League. Robin Van Persie and Radamel would be unstoppable.’
Now, could he not go and say them nice things about our club to a midfielder?

Midfield problem solved:
Pfft. Not realistic at all. This is much better...
When did we enlist Agent Asprilla? Clearly Fergie has been so open about Lewandowski because it's a smokescreen.
This quote sums it all up (and is one more example of how much we'll miss SAF when he finally retires.)

If Rooney is the new Scholes, I see no reason why Welbeck can't be the new Yaya
