Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao insists he still
wants to stay at Old Trafford next season despite his early difficulties at the
club.
The Colombia centre forward has only started three Barclays
Premier League games – and none for more than two months – after suffering
injuries in the
wake of his big-money loan transfer from Monaco on transfer
deadline day.
Falcao is fit now but has found himself behind Wayne Rooney,
Robin van Persie and even young James Wilson in the pecking order with United
manager Louis van Gaal telling the 28-year-old he won't pick him on reputation
alone.
But Falcao insists he still wants a permanent deal at United
after his £250,000-a-week loan arrangement expires at the end of the season.
'We talk a lot, the coach and I,' revealed Falcao. 'He has a
philosophy that I respect.
'I have had an injury, and I have had to wait for the
opportunity to play.
'From my point of view, yes I want to stay.
'Obviously I have to analyse the situation, see if I play
more and see what decision the board takes.
'But from my point of view, I really want to stay.'
Falcao has only scored one United goal so far - in the 2-1
win against Everton in October - but did return as a substitute against
Liverpool at the weekend.
