According to reddit/sport witness he could be out for weeks. Hope it's bollocks.

Really hope it isn't major. We really lacked any sort of impact off the bench yesterday. I mean having Wilson come on is good but against the big teams it'd be nice to have better options.

 

[ItsEssexRob]

He hasn't even played a full 90 minutes let. I know you're not saying so nor is it your intention to imply it, but let's give him a tiny bit of time before we brush him off.

As the following poster said I think this fact alone is cause for concern, but it may be he wasnt really bought with the intention that he would be a 30 goal a season player anymore but more cover and/or support.

No way of knowing for sure, but given his age, he's not like an Eto'o or Drogba signing. He's in his prime-and I suspect was contemplated for a starting XI role. I'm disappointed he wasn't fit for yesterday's game. If he's still recovering from surgery-then United should be up-front about it.

Thank feck Rooney is back if he's going to be out for weeks

 

[El Zoido]

People will shout "injury prone", but it's really not his fault if someone has clattered him in training. Could happen to anyone.

 

[arthurka]

F e c k how the hell are we going to manage anything, Jones dead as always and any player coming in for the tour of Carrington just comes down with the broken syndrome at the gate.. This is just turning on silly.

That's if the "impact injury" is the actual problem.

Sports Witness is one of the worst things on the entire Internet. A site who's existence is fuelled entirely by conveniently cropped photos with click bait headlines. I hate it more than Hitler.

 

[Lynk]

Was wandering round wearing a Madrid shirt yesterday (yes pointless shit stirring)

Bit much to be honest.

 

[Rado_N]

How much does Hitler hate it, though?

Nothing ground his gears like click bait. It's debateably what drove him to fascism.

Just seen the picture. What the hell was he thinking? fair enough he is supporting a mate, but wearing a Real shirt? (a team he was linked with all summer).

Could just have worn a Columbia shirt with James on the back. Think it is a bit thick myself, and he is supposed to be one of more intelligent footballers...

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Who cares, its not as if he's wearing Liverpool shirt.

Anyway whats the update on his injury?

Anyway whats the update on his injury?

Rooney was thought to be struggling to make the match after he was seen limping at a sponsorship event on Monday, but the Reds skipper trained as normal on Wednesday and is likely to return from a three-match ban in the crunch clash. Falcao has also been cleared to return after a scan on his injured calf revealed nothing serious with a likely return on the bench for the Colombian this weekend. United defenders Phil Jones, Paddy McNair and Jonny Evans are still out while the game could come too soon for Antonio Valencia to make his return from a hamstring strain.

Glad it hasn't turned out to be anything more than a knock, bit scary when players with long term injury issues miss a couple of matches. I want him to be starting games though ffs

hahaha, I sing that chant to myself contantly and my baby girl like it too, she's all smiles when I sing it to here, who needs baby songs when you have Falcao song.

Same so catchy.

 

[Raoul]

Good news indeed. Should at the very least make the bench. Now just have to see if Fellaini keeps his place or Mata gets a game.

 

[caisenma]

based on precedent, this news make me think that he'll be on the bench as opposed to the starting 11. good news regardless.

Maybe that's exactly why he's walking around in a Real shirt...

 

[SirAF]

To be fair he's not really walking around in it. He simply put it on while watching El Clasico to support his compatriot. Now, it's not my cup of tea but south americans are known to be very patriotic.

Will we see "James" in a United #9 shirt whilst watching the Manchester Derby? Doubt it.

 

[DarkXaero]

Glad to see that he should be fit to play this weekend. I'm hoping that he starts, but I know that's a long shot at this point.

 

[JUPITER]

So wear a Columbia shirt. After being that close to moving to Real and knowing the culture of that club/Marca etc it's hard to see it as just a dumb move from a thick footballer - which Falcao isn't.

I dunno, the more time has passed the more odd I find this loan tbh. I'm glad he's here, and I hope he bursts to life for us, but something about it is just...odd.

Radamel Falcao: Manchester United ready to seal permanent transfer of striker as 'everything is complete' to extend his Old Trafford stay

Manchester United are believed to have already secured the deal that will keep Radamel Falcao at the club beyond the end of the season in a package that will exceed £50m for the Colombian striker.

Falcao is on loan at United from French club Monaco, with the Premier League club paying an initial £6m fee to secure him for the first season under Louis van Gaal. However, it’s widely believed that United do have the option to sign him on a permanent deal, and according to Goal.com, an agreement is already in place regarding a £44m deal.

Falcao has shown glimpses of greatness at Old Trafford since signing on deadline day, but he has only scored once in five outings for United and was dropped to the bench for the 2-2 draw with West Brom despite the absence of the suspended Wayne Rooney – although he missed the 1-1 draw with Chelsea through injury last weekend.

Initial concerns over his fitness and whether he has fully recovered from the serious knee injury that ruled him out of the World Cup in the summer appear to have been allayed, and he looks set to be offered a contract on £240,000-a-week to match his current wages.

According to the report, a source at United has said that “everything is agreed” and the 28-year-old is determined to remain in the Premier League rather than return to Ligue 1 where the league is almost a one-horse race given the financial power that Paris Saint-Germain hold over their rivals.

The presence of Falcao’s agent Jorge Mendes has been a big factor in getting the deal signed and complete, given he already has ties at the club through Angel di Maria.

However, the transfer will represent another significant financial outlay by United in their attempt to return to the top of English football. Having broken the British transfer fee with the £59.7m fee for Di Maria, Falcao’s move for £44m plus the £6m loan fee would come in not far behind the Argentinian’s transfer. With Falcao’s wages, costing around £12.5m a year, a long-term contract would take his acquisition close to £100m.

His deadline day move came after he was extraordinarily linked with Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal before signing for United, but Juventus have also revealed that they came close to landing the Colombian in the summer.

“We were following him and there was contact,” Juventus managing director Beppe Marotta told RAI. “We were very close to [signing] Falcao and the player preferred Italy and our colours, but then United came forward and they have much more spending power than we do so the deal broke down.”

According to that article the £6 million loan fee will be on top of the £44 million transfer fee? Isn't his loan fee supposed to be deducted from his transfer fee if we make the move permanent?

 

[JUPITER]

Surely needs to prove himself as robustly fit over the course of an entire season before we even consider such a deal.

 

[Jed I. Knight]

No point in sealing the deal now. Needs to put a string of games together first, and prove that he can play at the level expected level before that should even be a subject.

 

[DWelbz19]

Yeah, I don't like the sound of signing him already. Give him the season to prove he's not only fit, but actually at the level we need.

 

[Rado_N]

For what it's worth apparently the picture of him in the Madrid shirt isn't actually him. No idea whether that's true, a newb has posted a link but it isn't in English.

 

[Devil may care]

I think they key part is "The deal is in place" it doesn't mean we will go through with it. I am a huge fan but if he can't get a shot up top over LvG's son then I don't see any point in that kind of outlay on him, he has to be a week in, week out starter for that price.

 

[roykeane19]

So far he hasnt had the impact on the PL, as most people thought he would have, I just hope he can replicate his athletico form with us, sooner than later

 

[Ekeke]

From what his agent was saying when we signed him, we agreed to buy him right there and taking him on loan first was just something to help with FFP.

I dont think its like the Tevez deal, I think we've already put the go ahead on buying him. There may be a way to opt out if hes injured all the time or something, but it'll probably cost money

 

[GE]

Really want him to succeed here. He HAS to get going soon, because the British media are waiting to pounce with the usual 'flop', 'glass legs' etc..

It doesn't help with Van Gaal starting him on the bench and then subbing him off early every other bloody game. Desperately needs a full 90 minutes and a few goals under his belt as soon as possible.

 

[Giant Midget]

Hopefully makes it off the bench on Sunday - he's looked a lot more dynamic than RVP this season and is definitely better suited to playing upfront by himself.
