£5k or £43m... Falcao has to prove himself

Louis van Gaal has told Radamel Falcao he must prove himself to get back into his plans.

Manchester United boss Van Gaal sensationally axed Falcao from his squad that lost 1-0 to Southampton last weekend.
Falcao was left stunned at his omission but today Van Gaal failed to offer the £43.2million rated striker any reassurance he will be back to face QPR tomorrow.
"He has to prove himself," said Van Gaal.           
"That we have agreed. Because of that, we have made this deal and everything is clear."
