I n all competitions Manchester United have suffered four defeats already this season. But the biggest disappointment for the fans has to be the stop-start nature of Radamel Falcao’s career.
Talk this week of the need for regular icepacks on that troublesome knee have done nothing to assuage the concerns of fans that there is a deep-rooted problem with the lad.
The Guardian reports that Falcao, along with 3 other first-teamers, are unlikely to figure in the crunch game against Arsenal on November 22.
Louis van Gaal will not be able to call on Radamel Falcao, Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Rafael Da Silva when he selects his team for Manchester United’s trip to Arsenal on Saturday week because of their injuries.
We maintain that, despite the explosive start of Angel di Maria, Falcao was the most talented buy of the summer. If Manchester United can get him fit and keep him fit, they will be an altogether more threatening prospect – this guy can take the league by storm.
Of the others we believe that, despite the criticism of Phil Jones, he would be in the starting eleven if fit. The same would be said of Rafael. They will both hope to be ready for the game against Hull the following weekend.
