The Colombian goalkeeper knows all about the threat Falcao poses because the pair are international teammates.

But the on loan Monaco striker has been unconvincing in a United shirt, scoring just four goals in 20 appearances.

He may return to United's starting line up for tonight's match and Ospina, who is set to be named on the bench for the Gunners, believes the 29-year-old will be an "amazing" player for the Old Trafford side.

"We haven’t spoken about the match but we are in contact and I am absolutely convinced and can say with all confidence that Falcao is a player with a winning attitude, he has a strong mentality and is a great professional,” Ospina told the Evening Standard.

"He has demonstrated that in every team he has ever played in. When he has stability and continuity, he will come to the forefront and he is going to be an amazing player for Manchester United.

"We will never underestimate him. He is an excellent forward and I will hope to stop him scoring any goals against us if I play."
