Falcao Is Not Fit -van Gaal by jrace(op): 8:35am On Dec 08, 2014
Louis van Gaal insists
Radamel Falcao is not fit
enough to start for
Manchester United and is
“not interested” in whether
he is unhappy at being benched. Falcao, currently on a
season-long loan from
Monaco, has made just three
starts and four sub
appearances in the Premier
League. The 28-year-old Colombia
international is expected to
be a substitute for the trip
to Southampton, after the
United manager confirmed
Wayne Rooney is fit and “will play.” Van Gaal said: “Falcao needs
match fitness. He can only
play for 20 minutes. “I have selected him despite
that but the rhythm of the
game in the Premier League
is the highest. “It would be a better
contribution if he played
with the second team but I
cannot do that because on
Tuesday Rooney was
injured for the match against Stoke. “I had to adapt to the needs
of selection. I am not
interested whether he is
unhappy being on the
bench. He has to follow my
philosophy. I am here because of that.”

This was not our intention when we brought in falcao. We did not bring him to sit on the bench all day but we have found ourselves at this stage. I am sorry to the fans if i have to play falcao this way. Every one must understand my philosophy and play with it. This is not always so with some players. If you want to play you have to be fit. I am still hoping he would be 100% fit before our next matches after Southampton or else we'll have to let him go.
