One Manchester United player that has been all over the media of late is Radamel Falcao.
Speculation over his relationship with Van Gaal, whether his deal will become permanent and whether he is good enough to be signed have all been talking points over the last couple of months. A couple of goals gave him a stay of execution but after an incredible miss against West Ham – which was arguably down to good defending – all these questions were brought back to light. Falcao needs a good run of games, and with Van Persie injured, now is his time to shine.
There is no better way to get his time at the club back on track than with a couple of goals against Preston and the chances will be there for Falcao if Van Gaal picks him of course.
