Man. United still undecided on Falcao

Xinhua, May 5, 2015 Adjust font size:

Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev told Monday's L'Equipe that Manchester United have told the French club that they haven't yet decided on whether or not to keep Radamel Falcao.

The 29-year-old Colombian striker has a poor season on loan at the United, having scored just four goals in 27 appearances, and rumors have been around widely tipping him to leave Old Trafford.

Manchester United have the option to turn Falcao's one-year loan deal into a 43.2 million pounds permanent transfer in the summer.

"I met the Manchester officials last Sunday," said Vasilyev. " They have not decided if they would exercise the option."

"It has not been his best season, but they will decide at the end of this season," he added. "The decision lies with Manchester and then we will discuss with the player to know what he wants."

Monaco now sit on the third position in Ligue 1 trailing leaders Paris Saint-Germain on 9 points, while the United are fourth-placed in English Premier League, 18 points behind already- champions Chelsea. Endite
