Louis van Gaal quiet on Radamel Falcao's Manchester United future
Monday 25 May 2015 07:18, UK
Louis van Gaal has refused to confirm whether reports that Radamel Falcao is leaving Manchester United are true or not.
United have an option to buy the Colombian when his season-long loan from Monaco expires this summer.
But Press Association said after United's goalless draw with Hull on Sunday the club have told Falcao
they will not exercise that option.
“I don't say if Falcao will go today. Today is about the game and not the decisions we have made,” said Van Gaal.
“You will hear it at the proper time and when Manchester United want."
Several more players could also leave United this summer, with David de Gea, Angel Di Maria and Robin van Persie linked with moves away.
"The transfer period is a process. I know which players have to go and which have to come but you never know if they go or if they come because it will depend on a lot of aspects," said Van Gaal.
Van Gaal will fly to his villa in Portugal this week after a draining year.
The 63-year-old only had a two-day break between the end of the World Cup and taking charge of United. He is looking forward to a holiday but will have his phone close by his side.
"I go on holiday but I have contact with (executive vice-chairman) Ed Woodward every day as he is doing the negotiations," Van Gaal told MUTV.
"It shall be a heavy (busy) holiday."
