Former Man United striker looking for new club

Manchester United have told Radamel Falcao they will not be extending his stay and the Colombia international has instructed his agent to find another Premier League club.

It has been a season to forget in the much heralded career of Colombian striker Radamel Falcao.

Forced to play for Man United’s U21 side and receiving very little playing time under Louis van Gaal, the former Atletico Madrid forward has scored just four goals in all competitions.

Having signed on a one-year loan deal last summer, the Colombian was fully expected to secure a permanent move to United, but the club confirmed on Sunday evening that he had now been returned to Ligue 1 club Monaco.

Super agent Jorge Mendes has recently stated that the former Atletico Madrid striker would join an ‘elite’ club and it is understood that he is now working on a potential move to either Chelsea or Liverpool.

Mendes has close connections with Blues boss Jose Mourinho after the latter’s time at Real Madrid and the Portuguese agent is now trying to convince him to sign Falcao and give him a chance in English football.

Juventus are also interested, whilst Tottenham Hotspur have been linked.
