Jose Mourinho revealed why Radamel Falcao decided to take a massive pay-cut join the club on loan this season.

The Colombian striker was on loan at Manchester United last season and managed to only score four goals, despite being paid close to £265,000-a-week.
Mourinho says Falcao wants to prove the English public that he is not the flop they saw last season at the Red Devils.


“It’s his motivation,” he told the Guardian.

“When you are not a top player, you never feel frustrated. When you are a top player, you have to live with this all through your career and you adapt to it. We felt his frustration.

“He is not happy that in England people think he is not as good as he is and his motivation is there.

“He did a lot of things to come to us. He lost money to come to us, he didn’t want to listen to other offers. He helped us a lot to do a deal with Monaco so, all these things together, we think we can help him and he can help us.”
