Defender Filipe Luís has highlighted former Atlético de Madrid team-mate Radamel Falcao as a possible threat for Chelsea.

The Colombia international is likely to line up for Manchester United when the Blues visit Old Trafford on Sunday and having spent three years playing alongside him, Felipe is all too aware of the quality Falcao possesses.

“Falcao is a better striker now than he was at Atlético for sure," he told the Evening Standard. "He was injured and changed clubs so he wants more. He is not resting right now. He is a tiger and wants to score more.

“I enjoyed playing alongside him at Atlético for a lot of games. I remember him in the [UEFA] Super Cup, he scored a hat-trick in about 30 minutes [against Chelsea] but he did a lot of good performances in Atlético and had a lot of good seasons there.

“He is a brilliant striker. He fights for every ball and is probably the best in the world with his head. I know it"s going to be difficult but not just against Falcao – United have a lot of good players."
