Radamel Falcao has been reduced to tears over his lack of playing time at Manchester United claims the Columbian international's ex agent Silvano Espindola.
Falcao pictured above at perhaps the height of his powers in the aftermath of winning the Europa League with Porto at the AVIVA Stadium, was forced to play with United's under 21's last week, a move that has left him feeling "weird" says Espindola.
"I am not going to tell you that he feels happy because he isn't, We speak many times and we cry together. It is not an easy situation because every player wants to play and every goalscorer wants to score goals."
Espindola also claims that Falcao wasn't too keen on playing the reserve game as he feared the tackles would be too hard and he may pick up an injury, a comment that will do little to dispel the notion that the striker is still feeling the effects of his ACL injury suffered last year.
Louis Van Gaal didn't escape Espindola's fire who claimed the United boss kills players confidence - an idea that has been floated about before when excuses for Falcao's disastrous season for United are banded about.
It'll be interesting to chart the striker's progress next season under a different coach with less expectations.
