The mother of Radamel Falcao admits her son is unhappy at Manchester United. Falcao is on-loan at United from AS Monaco.

Carmenza Zarate stated: "Not everything has been easy in Falcao's life.

"He had some difficult moments in his career. They slowed his progress and prevented him from participating in important competitions like the World Cup, or have confined him to the bench, like in Manchester.

"I often remind him that after a test or a difficulty blessings arrive. We hope for bigger and better things. God hasn't abandoned us and my son will become again what he has been, a goalscorer."

Carmenza added in El Espectador: "It's not a normal situation given what he has experienced in his career, but it happens in football. If God shows him a new path, he'll leave Manchester."
