Analysing and ranking Manchester United’s summer signings by their performances so far, including the exceptional Angel di Maria

3) Radamel Falcao

The Colombian forward showed flashes of his ability against Leicester. By the time he came on against QPR the game was already won, and he was able to enjoy an extremely comfortable debut. He got his chance from the start against the Foxes, and struck the bar early on with a fearsome shot. Falcao will undoubtedly score goals as the season progresses, but the major dilemma for United manager Louis van Gaal surround fitting into a team that also includes Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie. Rooney’s performances against Leicester suggester that he is not a long-term option in the number ten role, meaning that there are three players in two positions for United.
