Falcao happy at Man Utd

Colombia international striker Radamel Falcao has revealed he wants to stay at Manchester United for the ‘coming years.’

Falcao, viewed as one of the Europe’s top goal-scorers, attracted interest from several clubs across the continent before deciding to join United on deadline day.

However, a cruciate knee ligament injury–which eventually ruled out of the World Cup finals–prevented a big-money, permanent move for the Colombian talisman.

But not to worry, United took precaution by negotiating a season-long loan deal, with an option to make the deal permanent in the summer of 2015.

“Manchester United were the ones that gambled on me when it was very difficult to do so,” Falcao said.

“It has been a very difficult year, not just in my professional career.

“What happened at the start of the year affected me in every way, but it has also helped me grow as a human being, to think about many things, to mature.”

Falcao added: “In terms of my thoughts and plans for the future, I want to stay at Manchester United for the coming years.

“I am still going to need some time to be okay, but I am feeling very comfortable and very good on the pitch, in harmony with myself, with the ball and with football.”

Falcao, who scored the match-winner against Everton on Sunday, has tallied one goal and two assists in four English Premier League appearances this season.

Cabaye frustrated with lack of playing time at PSG

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Yohan Cabaye has revealed he is ‘not satisfied’ with his current situation at the Parc des Princes.

Cabaye, who joined PSG from Newcastle United in a deal reportedly worth £19 million plus add-ons in January, has four of the French champions’ first nine league matches under Laurent Blanc this season.

Despite limited success (three wins and six draws from nine league fixtures), Blanc has preferred the midfield trio of Blaise Matuidi, Marco Verratti, and Thiago Motta.

Cabaye is far from delighted with his current situation in the French capital, but he does not want to cause a distraction by talking about a potential return to England. It is a little to late for that…

“You have to accept being a substitute, but I don’t resign myself to that. In training sessions, I have to give my best and show my desire to play.

“When I am on the pitch, I feel it is not perfect and that I often have to leave too soon. But I know the coach and staff have to make choices and I respect that.

“Have I spoken to Laurent Blanc? No. What do I tell him? I am 28 years old and not new to the job. But I am not satisfied with the situation.

“Am I completely happy? To be honest, no. It is a new situation for me, but I don’t complain. It is the first time I haven’t played regularly for my club.

“With the French team, if one day the national team coach decides to play me less because I don’t play often enough for my club, then I would need to take stock with my representatives.

“Do I sometimes miss England? Yes. Sometimes I think about it, but I immediately sweep that away because it would cause distraction. I am at the Parc des Princes and I need to find the right atmosphere.”

Now then, should he stay or should he go?
