Falcao keen to stay at Manchester United

London: Striker Radamel Falcao asserted he still wants to stay at Manchester United next season despite his early difficulties at the club.

The Colombian insisted he wants a permanent deal at United after his 250,000 pound-a-week loan arrangement expires at the end of the season, reports dailymail.co.uk.

“We talk a lot, the coach and I. He has a philosophy that I respect. I have had an injury, and I have had to wait for the opportunity to play. From my point of view, yes I want to stay,” Falcao said.

“Obviously I have to analyse the situation, see if I play more and see what decision the board takes. But I really want to stay.”

The 28-year-old has only started in three English Premier League (EPL) games after suffering from injuries. He has only scored one goal for United so far.

There is a cloud of doubt whether he will be the first choice striker for manager Louis Van Gaal, as he has stiff competition from the likes of Wayne Rooney, Dutch Robin van Persie and the 19-year-old James Wilson.

Falcao also said he is now almost 100 percent fit and ready to play. “It felt good to play. I’m fully fit now. So, let’s wait and see what the decision of the coach is and when he wants to use me more,” he added.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
