'Any club would have him': Falcao's agent SLAMS Manchester United boss Van Gaal
RADAMEL FALCAO'S agent has cast doubt over the striker's Manchester United future by slamming manager Louis van Gaal's handling of his player - saying he would walk into "any other side in the world".
Van Gaal controversially left Colombian superstar Falcao out of his 18-man squad for Sunday's defeat by Southampton and now agent Jorge Mendes has admitted the snub casts doubt whether United are prepared to pay Monaco the £44million it will take to make Falcao's season-long loan permanent this summer.
"Radamel is a fantastic player and it's very difficult for Manchester United fans [to understand why he was not included]," said Mendes. "They have an absolutely brilliant player, one of the very best in the world, who would, without any doubt play 90 minutes of the match, every time, with any other club."
"The truth is, right now, we don't know what will happen [next season]. What we do know is that he will play in one of the very best clubs in the world next season, whether that is Manchester United or not."
But Falcao's team-mate Daley Blind has warned United's stars that Van Gaal is not concerned about price tags or reputations, revealing that he bases his team selection on performances and attitude in training.
Blind, a key member of Van Gaal’s Holland World Cup team last summer, said: “The prices in the team are expensive and the manager has said that as well, so you have to train very hard every day to show yourself and show that you really want to play.
“We are one team, we have to do it with each other, whichever XI the coach chooses.”
Falcao – who had started the previous five games, scoring two goals – will have noted that Van Gaal put defender Blind straight back into his team despite a two-month lay-off with a knee ligament injury.
Blind said: “I’m a fit player – maybe that’s why! I’m conditioned most of the time, always OK, so it should not be a problem to play 90 minutes.”
