Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League. Alex Livesey

Falcao can find another top club, says agent

The Colombia striker joined United from Monaco until the end of the season in September.

THE AGENT OF Radamel Falcao believes his client will not be short of options when his Manchester United loan expires.

The Colombia striker joined United from Monaco until the end of the season in September, but has failed to become a regular feature in Louis van Gaal’s starting XI.

Falcao was left out of United’s matchday squad for Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat to Southampton, but agent Jorge Mendes believes he will find another top club if Van Gaal decides against offering the 28-year-old a permanent deal.

“I don’t know [where his future is],” Mendes is widely quoted as saying. “He is a fantastic player, and I think it’s very difficult for Manchester United fans.

“They have an absolutely brilliant player, one of the very best in the world, who would without any doubt play 90 minutes of the match, every time, with any other club.

“The truth is, right now we don’t know what will happen. What we do know is that he will play in one of the very best clubs in the world next season, whether that is Manchester United or not.

“I am 100 per cent sure of that. But you know how football works, we need to wait a little. We’ll see what happens.”

Falcao has scored three goals in 12 Premier League appearances, making seven starts.

    At his age Ken probably thought he might not make it through to the cruicible again ,let him enjoy it ,he’s well aware that he’s not going win it ,it’s about enjoyment for his at this stage .I don’t understand why your being critical of him only beating poomjaeng 10-5, a player who knocked out Stephen Maguire in the first round last year

    I think the David he is referring to is David Morris ,who didn’t even qualify and is ranked 89 in the world .So yeah he’s clearly nowhere near as good as him .

    Yeah I guessed that Patrick.David Morris was a excellent amateur player but unfortunately like so many before him,he hasn’t made the transition to the pro game.Im not saying he won’t,hes still young and as I said,hes an excellent player.But to compare him to Ken is laughable.His best days may be nearly over but Im sure he’ll give whoever he plays a tough game.Best of luck Ken and the same to Fergal who plays today.

    I bet hes praying for a lucky 1st round draw, otherwise its curtains for another year! Hes not anywhere even close to David, who can actually compete in the first couple of rounds once he doesn’t draw one of the top guys. Doherty still gave 5 frames away to a nobody in his previous match.

    I’d love to see an Irish player do well again but Doherty’s days are long over!

    Such an Irish player doesn’t exist I’m afraid. You can’t go through twenty years of clubs closing all over the country and expect that the standard will remain the same.

    Ireland’s next big star (as he has been for ten years) was beaten in the first qualifying round. Not Ken’s fault, and he deserves only huge credit for getting there.

    A nicer drawer than he has received on his last few trips to The Crucible would be nice, granted!
