Report: Radamel Falcao’s spell at Manchester United is over

No return

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.

It’s a sorry end to an ill-fated experiment as the forward found the net just four times this season.

Louis van Gaal and the Old Trafford hierarchy banked on the former Atletico Madrid man hitting the heights of his irresistible Vicente Calderón spell, but it was not to be as a cruciate injury appears to have robbed him of the form which made Monaco pay more than £50million for his services less than two years ago.
