Move over Manchester City, the Red side of Manchester is back with a bang, in the transfer market that is.

Radamel Falcao looks set to become the latest big name to join Manchester United this summer in a reported £12 million season-long loan deal.

Having already secured Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and Angel Di Maria, United will add the Colombian striker to their impressive arsenal.

The loan move is subject to a medical and the deal includes an option to buy the player come the end of the season for a fee close to £45 million.

Louis van Gaal has suffered a complicated start in the Premier League since taking over at the helm from David Moyes.

The Dutch manager has secured just two points from three games and saw his team suffer a humiliating 4-0 defeat to the MK Dons in the League Cup.

Falcao brings Manchester United's summer spending to over £140 million, more than double that of habitual big spenders Manchester City.

That figure is sure to increase further considering Daley Blind is also set to join United after a £13.8m fee was agreed with Ajax for the defender.

With a surplus of strikers, Javier Hernandez is expected to join Real Madrid, while Danny Wellbeck could be on his way to Tottenham.
