Not summoned to face Southampton, Falcao could count on the support of his agent Jorge Mendes: “Falcao is a great player, the Manchester United fans have a fantastic player (…) He could play in any which team, anything can happen. Next season he will play for sure in one of the best teams of the World, either United or another. But it takes time, we’ll see what happens “.

Following a hard-won victory in the FA Cup against Preston North End (3-1), the Red Devils have made the decision not to keep the player on loan from AS Monaco because it was not able to do decision against a team of third division …. He seems the last straw for Old Trafford residents who paid € 15 million for its loan fee

Motivated, El Tigre told him: “I am very happy to join Chelsea and I am eager to start training and help the team retain the league title and also win in Europe.” The Special One himself, wanted to revive the player and help him find his true level. The English press it, is more than puzzled

The response of his coach Jose Mourinho did not expect: “The cravings elsewhere Falcao? It is strange that the media information that I did not.

The rate where it is, it is better that he returned to Monaco and plays. ” But for this the player should make a financial effort. The club, which wants to recruit a striker, his side should offload some items. An interesting starting point for a player who could revive before joining the MLS this summer. Unless the Club América, said last candidate, does not put a hand on him this winter

However, it was complicated because the team did not start the best season, and because I have not had the chances that I wanted to have. For the future, I hope to have more opportunities to show what I can do in the second half of the season. ” If he stays, he is likely to do better he who scored 1 goal in 11 matches in all competitions in the jersey of the Blues this season. Over the year 2015, Falcao is 29 matches and 3 goals with MU and Chelsea. Statistics unworthy of him that still reigned there are few on the Liga and who scored 70 goals in 91 appearances for Atletico Madrid between 2011 and 2013.
