Argentina legend, Diego Maradona, has compared Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal to the devil, for not using Radamel Falcao regularly.
The Colombian striker moved to Old Trafford on a season-long loan last summer, but has made just 12 starts in the Premier League.
Falcao has mustered only four goals for the Red Devils and the chances of Van Gaal keeping him on a permanent deal gets slimmer every day.
Maradona insisted that the Dutch tactician should be blamed.
“Van Gaal is not a cool guy. He is closer to the devil than anything else,” Maradona told reporters at a press conference in Colombia ahead of his participation in a ‘pro peace match’.
“The World Cup was great and I think everyone felt Colombian at least for a while, when James [Rodriguez] or [Juan] Cuadrado had the ball.
“If Falcao was there, Colombia may be celebrating their first WC glory.
“Falcao was conditioned due to his severe injury. Moving from France to England was tough and he needed to adapt himself.” .
