The one Van Gaal will probably resent given his tempestuous relationship with the forward and one that could well make or break not only Falcao’s Manchester United career but also his reputation as one of football’s best forwards.
This season has gone so far off point for the forward that he will want to press the rewind button and start all over again – and you cannot blame him.
Now he will have a month where United have some key games that will define their season and he can get a run in the side without the threat of RVP or the bench breathing down his neck.
