Would United fans be up for a swap with Falcao?

Diego Forlan never really lived up to his superstar billing when he moved to Old Trafford in 2002 but he's looked like a bit of a world beater since leaving. And, at 35, he's showing no signs of slowing down if this free kick is anything to go by. The Uruguayan, whose career highlight must be claiming the Golden Ball at the 2010 World Cup, is currently plying his trade for Cerezo Osaka in Japan's J-League. Forlan scored a 79th minute equaliser for Osaka with a beautifully worked free kick that shows he hasn't forgotten the set-piece lessons given to him by David Beckham in the early noughties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJTaYjR93ws
