RADAMEL FALCAO GAVE a timely reminder to Louis van Gaal as he bagged a brace in Colombia’s 6-0 demolition of Bahrain.
The striker has struggled to impress his Manchester United manager in recent weeks amid concerns over his fitness, but he showed no signs of rustiness with an impressive display in Riffa.
Having previously not found the back of the net since late January, Falcao was among the goals before the break with two composed finishes – albeit against slack defending – while he also created the opener for Carlos Bacca.
Substitute Adrian Ramos added a fourth for Colombia after 59 minutes, while Johan Mojica and Andres Renteria completed the rout in the closing minutes after Falcao had been replaced.
Falcao’s night had been productive enough as Colombia began their Copa America preparations in perfect style.

The opposition is irrelevant in a situation like this. All that counts is that he managed to lift his confidence. He couldn’t even score against Cambridge a few weeks back and they’re probably on Bahrain’s level.
Good man Arsene
Sure why wouldn’t he
That’s his style of play… running in behind the defence and onto a through ball. That’s what has made his career and the style of football betting payed by Utd does not suit this style. If Van Gaal wants to get the best from Falcao, Utd need to start playing more incisive football.
He doesn’t seem to make those types of runs for united though?
Two good finishes no matter who opposition are!
