Currently Colombian striker Radamel Falcao is playing at Old Trafford on loan from Monaco, with Manchester United having the option to make the loan move permanent at the end of the season.
So far however the striker nicknamed El Tigre has not lived up to the kind of form he showed as an Atletico Madrid player scoring just four goals in 17 appearances for United.
His agent Jorge Mendes in a jibe aimed at manager Louis van Gaal says that things would have been a lot different if Sir Alex Ferguson was still running things at Old Trafford.
‘He didn’t make a mistake when he chose Monaco. He is a champion. I miss [Sir Alex] Ferguson at Manchester United. With him and this squad the situation would be different,’ he said.
‘I know that if they give Falcao five complete matches, I am convinced that he would score goals in practically all of those matches.’
Mendes also said that his client would have plenty of offers should United choose not to take up their option of buying him.
‘If Falcao does not stay in Manchester, he will be at one of the other five or six best teams in the world,’ he added.
