According to reports, Radamel Falcao will not play for Machester United again next season. Falcao has had a disastrous campaign for the Red Devils scoring only four goals in his 29 appearances. His last goal came in the 3-1 home win against Leicester City almost four months ago.

Falcao, 29, joined Manchester United from Monaco on a one-year loan deal. There was a £43.2m buyout clause in the contract if United decided to make the move permanent. However, it is looking highly unlikely that United will go ahead with same.

There is, however, a small chance of Falcao coming back to United next season as well because of a certain Jorge Mendes. Jorge Mendes is Falcao’s agent but as of right now more importantly he is David de Gea’s agent and rumours suggest he if de Gea signs a new contract with the Manchester club it might have a clause for Falcao as well.

It looks like Falcao is already aware of his future, for the way he left the pitch in the game against Arsenal. It looked very much like a player saying his last goodbye. Antonio Valencia posted a goodbye picture on his Instagram account as well that would point to the fact that Falcao has played his last game for United. Alice McKeegan (Manchester Evening News) tweeted about the same.
