Asprilla slams Man Utd boss Van Gaal: He'll force Falcao to leave

Newcastle United legend Tino Asprilla believes Radamel Falcao will leave Manchester United at the end of the season. Asprilla blames United boss Louis van Gaal for the situation involving his fellow Colombian.

"If Van Gaal continues he will leave," Asprilla told IB Times UK. "I think it is a relationship that has already been broken. Falcao understands that the coach does not want him.

"I remember when I went to Newcastle Kevin Keegan wanted me. He supported me a lot and here it is obvious that Van Gaal does not trust Falcao.

"It is sad to see how he is treating Falcao. The problem is not Falcao, but the coach. Falcao had an injury earlier in the season, but after he proved that he is still the same top scorer he used to be.

"He played five games and scored goals. But this is all about giving him confidence. After playing well some games it is inexplicable that he suddenly stops playing.

"The truth is that I do not know what Van Gaal is trying to do at United. And I think both players and fans are also confused. He does many changes without reasons."
