Radamel Falcao Player Profile

The Colombian joined the Red Devils in the summer on a season-long loan from Monaco, but has so far failed to adapt to life in the Premier League.

The 29-year-old striker - believed to be on a £275,000-a-week wage - has managed just four goals in all competitions for United.

Falcao joins the likes of Victor Valdes, Rafael and James Wilson for the Under-21s Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
