Man Utd set for next mega transfer after AGREEING personal terms with Radamel Falcao
MANCHESTER UNITED are close to completing a permanent deal for loan striker Radamel Falcao.
United signed the Colombian on a shock season-long loan deal on transfer deadline day and are keen to complete a permanent deal.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are set to secure their man after agreeing to pay Falcao £250,000-a-week plus add ons.
Old Trafford money men will hand over £43.5m to Ligue 1 outfit Monaco to finalise the deal.
Falcao has made a steady, if unspectacular, start to life at United appearing three times without success in front of goal.

However, he made it clear soon after signing on loan that he hoped to extend his spell in Manchester.
He said: "This is a new process and a new team for United.
"This year a lot of new players have arrived and I think the club is building a big team for this season and for the future.
"I would like to stay here and play a part in this project."
United boss Louis van Gaal is expected to continue rebuilding his squad in January with Arturo Vidal and Mats Hummels on his wish-list.
