Radamel Falcao, once the world’s most feared striker, is to be ditched by Manchester United after a woeful season at Old Trafford
Ian Ladyman of the Daily Mail reports that the Colombian’s season-long loan will neither be extended, nor lead to a permanent transfer, following United’s final game of the season away to Hull City.
