'Everyone knows that Millonarios is the team of my heart, of my childhood,' Falcao said.
He previously trained with Millonarios early in his career but they did not offer him a contract and he was instead picked up by Argentine giants River Plate.
Falcao, who has scored 345 goals in a career spanning back to 1999, when he made his debut for Colombian club Lanceros Boyaca aged 13, has been winding down his career in Spain.
He managed 12 goals in three seasons at Rayo Vallecano and had to deal with a traumatic break-in back in October.
The forward will be hoping for better luck than he had at United, where he scored just four times in 29 outings in 2014-15.
El Mundo reported that several men had broken into the property while he was enjoying dinner with his family at a nearby restaurant on Saturday night.
The intruders are said to have taken designer bags, watches and some jewellery before being surprised by an employee and fleeing.
