Manchester United confirmed today that they will not go ahead with signing Falcao on permanent basis. Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal told MUTV that they will not offer Falcao permanent contract and once his loan from Monaco end he will go back to France.
“Falcao is a top professional and a good human being. On behalf of myself and everyone at the club I would like to wish him well for the future”
29 years old Colombia striker join Manchester United last year on loan from Monaco, media then speculated that this could be the biggest transfer in the soccer history. But after only 12 months Manchester United is returning Falcao back to Monaco. Falcao started his career in River Plata (Argentina), for River Plata he played 93 games and scored 36 goals. In 2009 for 5.5 million euros he moved to FC Porto and stay with them for 2 years. He starts to shine there and scored 72 goals from 87 appearances and in August 2011 Atletico Madrid bought him for 40 million euros. Falcao stayed in Madrid for two years and again have superb statistic, 70 goals from 90 games. With Atletico Madrid he won Europa League (2011/2012) and UEFA Super Cup (2013). In 2013 Monaco was building super team that would rule the Europe soccer scene and they need a superb striker, they got extra-class striker for 60 million euros. But Falcao didn’t impress anyone in his first season for Monaco; he scored 13 goals from 23 games. Louis van Gaal sign Falcao and hope that Colombian could give him goals and points, but at the end Falcao had disappointing season probably the worst in his career. He played 29 games for Manchester United and scores only 4 goals. With this statement from Louis van Gaal we can only guess that hunt for Falcao is official open.
