Radamel Falcao has been limited this season due a calf injury, which has forced Louis van Gaal to use him sparingly. But he insists he wants to remain at Manchester United.

"From my point of view, yes, I want to stay but obviously I have to analyse the situation," said Falcao.

"I’ll see if I play more and see what decision the board takes. But from my point of view, I really want to stay.

"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.

"Every footballer wants to play, no one is happy when they are not playing, when they are on the bench, but whenever I am given the opportunity, whether it be for five, 10, 20 or 90 minutes, I have to give my best."

United have the option to wait until after the season to make his loan deal permanent, though terms have already been agreed upon with Monaco.
