- Falcao with Colombia squad in Miami ahead of friendly with Brazil on Friday

- Club also still waiting for visa for £16m Argentina defender Marcos Rojo
- United face QPR in Premier League on September 14
Manchester United are hoping to secure a working visa for Radamel Falcao at the British Consulate in Miami.
The
28-year-old is in America with Colombia ahead of their friendly against
Brazil on Friday and United want to use that time to start the process
of gaining clearance for the striker so that he is available to face QPR
on September 14.
Obtaining
a work permit for Falcao should not be a problem but United's new No 9
must still have an interview before a visa is issued.
Falcao signed for United in a £20million loan deal that was only ratified by the Premier League at 1.10am on Tuesday.
United
completed Falcao's medical and submitted the deal sheet to the Premier
League by the 11.45pm deadline on Monday and were then granted an extra
hour to complete the move after the striker's late arrival in England
from France.
United
are also still waiting for £16m Argentina defender Marcos Rojo to be
granted a visa - two weeks after he signed for the club from Sporting
Lisbon.
