Falcao’s
move to Manchester United on a season-long loan from Monaco was the
headline story when the transfer window closed on September 1.
The
28-year-old Colombia striker, who reportedly cost United a $9.7 million
loan fee, is expected to don the red shirt for the first time on Sunday
when Queens Park Rangers visit Old Trafford.
Daley
Blind, Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw, who has recovered from a hamstring
injury, could also make their debuts for Louis van Gaal’s side, while
record signing Angel di Maria is due to make his first home appearance.
United are without a win after three games of the campaign, but Falcao
is confident that he and his fellow new arrivals can help restore the
club to former glories.
“This is a new process, a new team,” he said during his official presentation to the media on Thursday.
“This
year some players have come in and I think that Manchester United will
build a big team this season and in the future, and I would like to be
here and to be part of the project.”
QPR, meanwhile,
could hand debuts to Brazilian midfielder Sandro and Chile forward
Eduardo Vargas, who was granted a work permit earlier this week after
joining on loan from Napoli. Falcao’s arrival at United saw Danny
Welbeck forced out and the England forward is set to make his debut for
Arsenal on Saturday when champions Manchester City visit the Emirates
Stadium.
The £16 million striker scored twice as
England won 2-0 against Switzerland in their opening Euro 2016 qualifier
on Monday and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes he can make
Welbeck even more effective. “He can first of all make himself a better
player, because I can help him,” said Wenger.
“Danny is
a young boy, not 24 yet, and let’s not forget that some players who
arrived here at the age of 23 made huge careers here, so I hope we can
contribute and help him.”
Neither Chelsea nor Swansea
City made any additions to their senior squads on deadline day, but
having each won their first three matches, there appeared little need
for last-minute additions anyway.
The two teams meet at
Stamford Bridge, with Swansea coach Garry Monk declaring he has no
problems with opposite number Jose Mourinho, who snubbed his offer of a
handshake when the teams last met in April. “I’m probably not the only
one who he hasn’t shaken hands with,” Monk said. “I like to shake hands
and finish well, but I respect him highly. He’s a top manager, a very
respected person in football and in that bracket of the very elite.”
Last
season’s runners-up Liverpool signed off for the international break
with an impressive 3-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur, but they will be
without Daniel Sturridge for Saturday’s visit of Aston Villa.
Radamel Falcao, Danny Welbeck and Toby Alderweireld are among the players in line to make their debuts as the Premier League resumes this weekend following the international break.
