POLL: The Colombian was left on the bench for
the 1-0 win over Newcastle as he continues to
struggle to find his feet in England - are his days
at Old Trafford numbered?
Radamel Falcao's stuttering Manchester United
career took a turn for the worse on Wednesday
as he was left out of the team for the narrow 1-0
victory over Newcastle.
The 29-year-old has struggled to find his feet at
Old Trafford since his loan move from Monaco,
scoring just four goals for the club thus far in the
2014-15 campaign having arrived with a
reputation as one of the top attacking stars in
Europe.
Falcao has been limited to a bit-part role for the
club this season, with the striker visibly baffled
after being substituted during the FA Cup fifth
round at Preston in February before he was then
taken off after 68 minutes of the 2-0 win over
Sunderland.
And at St James' Park on Wednesday, Falcao was
left out of the starting XI altogether with Louis
van Gaal instead opting to select Marouane
Fellaini in an advanced role in support of Wayne
Rooney.
With United struggling to find the breakthrough in
the game having wasted a number of clear-cut
chances, Van Gaal decided against bringing
Falcao off the bench, with the likes of Juan Mata
and Adnan Januzaj introduced instead.
Ashley Young eventually struck the winning goal
with only a couple of minutes remaining, with
Falcao left watching on as United boosted their
chances of finishing in the top four.
So with Falcao's price set at a whopping £44
million, is it fair to say that the former Atletico
Madrid striker has no hope of securing a
permanent deal with Van Gaal's side?
HAVE YOUR SAY
Is Falcao effectively finished at United? With only
10 games remaining in the 2014-15 Premier
League season, is there still time for the Monaco
striker to make an impact?
