No Man Utd decision on Falcao future

Despite reports to the contrary Manchester United are yet to make a decision on Radamel Falcao's future at Old Trafford. The Colombian was regarded as one of the best strikers in the world but has failed to sparkle at United so far, scoring just four goals in 20 appearances.

Reports in France on Wednesday claimed United had informed Monaco they would not be exercising their option to buy Falcao on a permanent £43million deal.

However, Press Association Sport understands that is not correct with boss Louis van Gaal waiting until May before deciding whether he wants to make the loan move for the 29-year-old permanent.

Falcao is likely to get an extended run in the first team in the coming weeks as Robin van Persie is out with an ankle injury he sustained in the 2-1 defeat at Swansea on February 21.
