Unwilling to be outshone, Falcao, who made his Man United debut on Sunday as a substitute, tries some intricate footwork, but we reckon the samurai just shades it.
Just who is the Red Samurai? According to Man United's website, he's a freestyler brought to the club by its official noodle partner Nissin, who performed before the club's match on Sunday against Queens Park Rangers, and at half-time.
The former English champions are also calling for fans to show off their own skills and post them with the hashtag #RedSamurai.
