But Mourinho claims he has been a long-term admirer of Falcao, telling DirecTv Sports: "It really hurts me that people in England believe that Falcao is the guy they saw at Manchester United.
If I can help Falcao arrive at his level I will do it
"He's a player I know, one that I've followed since Atletico Madrid and if I can help Falcao arrive at his level I will do it."
United appear to be unlikely to sign Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The Bayern Munich ace has been linked with a move to the Premier League.

"That's not the case."
The Red Devils have also reportedly been dealt a setback in their pursuit of Christian Benteke.
