Carragher expects Man Utd to offload Falcao

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher expects Radamel Falcao to leave Manchester United in the summer.

Falcao is on-loan at United from AS Monaco.

"I don't see Falcao there next season," Carragher told Sky Sports.

"With Van Persie, I think they'll keep him. They'd find it difficult to move him on, although I don't think they'd want to.

"With the system they're playing at the moment Wayne Rooney's the number one striker, but you've still got Van Persie to come in behind him, and that's fantastic back-up.

"They can push each other, and at times I'm sure Rooney will play in midfield with Van Persie up front. They've still got young James Wilson as well.

"So I still see Van Persie there next season, because if they did move him on they'd still have to go and buy someone, but I'd be very surprised if Falcao was still at Manchester United."
