Colombia boss Jose Pekerman is confident Radamel Falcao will become a success at Manchester United.
The 28-year-old striker moved to Old Trafford on a loan deal from Monaco in the summer but he has failed to impress after recent successful spells with Porto, Atletico Madrid and the Ligue 1 side.
Injury problems and poor form has seen him in and out of Louis van Gaal’s side, prompting speculation that United would not take up their ‘permanent’ deal option.
However, Pekerman believes that the Colombian international will come good and show his quality in the Premier League.
“It’s a difficult period for him, but he’s a proven player with regard to his mentality and he’ll keep on working hard,” Pekerman told Caracol Radio.
“I’m sure that this [difficult period] will just be temporary and he will come through it, I don’t have any doubt.
“The most important thing is that he is well [after his injuries].
“Sometimes these situations are not easy… it’s a shame because he’s a lad we want to be playing regularly as he’s a great player, but I expect it will sort itself out soon.”
