For all the ups and downs at Manchester United this season it has seldom been anything less than enthralling. One of the most exciting moves of the summer was for Radamel Falcao and his protracted absence has been one of the biggest disappointments so far.
We all hope that he will return to full fitness because, at his best, he can eclipse any striker in the game. And his international coach is certainly confident that the latest issues are nothing more than teething problems.
“Playing in England is clearly a new experience for him – but everywhere he has been he has adapted and excelled, achieved great things.
“That was the case in South America, and also in Europe in Spain and at Monaco. There is no doubting his ability.
Falcao has made 5 appearances for Manchester United hitherto with one goal and one assist for his efforts. But he has been out for the last couple of weeks and may not make the Arsenal game on 22nd. But Colombia boss Jose Pekerman reckons he will be sweet.
“And I am sure that Manchester United fans will see him at his very best once he has got through this difficult moment with injuries.”
We would love to see him start against The Gunners but even a place on the bench will be seen as progress with that arguably fragile knee.
Let’s satisfy ourselves with some Falcao goals while we wait. Manchester United fans: can he get back to his best?
