New Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao has claimed that he could have been a professional baseball player had his career in football failed.
The 28-year-old recalled how he would cry whilst playing football but became determined to thrive in baseball after being ridiculed by teammates for dropping a ball.
'Playing football was my passion - but let me tell you I could also have been a baseball player in Venezuela, where I lived for five years,' Falcao told the Sunday People.
'I was a pitcher and I reckon that I could have had a career there.'
'But my dad realised that I was really good at playing football so we left Venezuela and I quit baseball. I believe I was designed to be a footballer.'
The Colombian made a name for himself in Europe after joining Porto from River Plate for £3.2million in 2009.
