Radamel Falcao: 'I need to play'

Radamel Falcao suggests that he may need to leave Manchester United to improve his starting opportunities.

Manchester United loanee Radamel Falcao has hinted that his future may lie away from Old Trafford.

The Colombian joined the Red Devils on a season-long loan basis from AS Monaco last September, but he has struggled to hold down a regular place in Louis van Gaal's starting lineup.

The uncertainty over his future has resulted in recent links with the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Italian champions Juventus.

When asked for his take on the situation, despite having stressed that he is committed to United until the end of the season, the 29-year-old conceded that he needs to be playing on a more frequent basis.

"When the championship finishes, of course I will sit down, analyse things and decide what is best for me," he told Colombia's Radio Caracol.

"Obviously I need to find a place where I have continuity and where I can play. I am totally focused on the club. There are eight games left and anything can happen."

There had also been some suggestions that friction had started to appear in Falcao's relationship with Van Gaal, but the forward has moved to play down that speculation.

"[Van Gaal] has to make decisions like any other coach. Regardless of whether they are favourable for me or not, I try to behave in the best way possible, to be professional at all times and to take advantage of the time he gives me. That's it," he added.

"I know there has been a lot of talk, but I try to distance myself from that. People speculate, but I am good and feeling calm. I just need to play. I can't let myself get worried, I need to be prepared to take the opportunity when it comes."

Falcao last started for the Red Devils during their 2-0 win over Sunderland on February 28.
