Jose Mourinho has admitted that he was scared when Manchester United had announced the signing of Radamel Falcao on a season-long-loan last campaign, and is now feeling positive about the Colombian’s future form.
During his short tenure at Old Trafford. ex-Atletico Madrid striker Falcao only managed to bag himself four goals all season, but this didn’t put Mourinho off signing El Tigre for the Premier League champions, and is adamant hat the 29-year-old will prove his worth at Stamford Bridge.
Talking to ESPN, Mourinho was surprised by the problems that Falcao had during his time under Louis van Gaal.
When he went to Man United I have to say I was a bit scared. Because he’s a predator in the box and a guy who does score goals all the time. He did that in every club in every league, so I was convinced he was going to do that in our league, in England.
We had a very exhaustive analysis of his condition before we made a decision. Our doctor had real work to investigate all of that. He is not, for sure, a physical problem. So if it’s not physical, we can make him score goals again.
