Falcao reveals Man Utd intentions

On-loan Colombian striker Falcao would love to stay at Manchester United but admits a permanent move to Old Trafford is likely to depend on how much he plays from now until the end of the season. "I am very happy in this city, in this club and I am enjoying it here. I really want to stay," the United striker told Press Association Sport.

"From my point of view, I'd like to carry on but obviously I have to analyse the situation, see if I play more and see what decision the board takes."

He has talked to boss Louis Van Gaal about his playing more. "We talk a lot, the coach and I. He has a philosophy that I respect. I have had an injury, and I have had to wait for the opportunity to play," he said.

Falcao is happy with his fitness. "I am very well. I'm almost at 100% now, let's see wait and see what the decision of the coach is, when he wants to use me more. I feel ready for the moment that the team needs me.

"Whenever I have the opportunity to come on I try to do my best for the coach and I try to help the team."
