Radamel Falcao insists that it was his decision to join Manchester United, despite reports that he wanted to sign for Real Madrid this summer.

Radamel Falcao has insisted that he wanted to join Manchester United, despite reports claiming that he had his heart set on a switch to Real Madrid.

The Colombian signed for the Red Devils on transfer deadline day yesterday on a season-long loan from Monaco.

Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague told Sky Sports News yesterday that the 28-year-old tried to engineer a move to the European champions over the course of the summer, but a transfer failed to materialise.

However, after sealing his switch to Old Trafford, the striker wrote on Twitter: "Moving to @ManUtd was my decision. It's exciting to play at the world's best club and in such a competitive league."

Reports have claimed that Falcao, who was earning tax-free wages at Monaco, has become United's highest-paid player, eclipsing the reported £250,000-a-week wages earned by captain Wayne Rooney.
