Louis van Gaal has added to speculation Falcao could join Juventus or Roma, saying the striker must ‘prove himself’.

“He [Falcao] has to prove himself,” the Dutchman told his Press conference ahead of the Red Devils’ trip to Queens Park Rangers.
“That we have agreed. Because of that, we have made this deal and everything is clear. It is not the end of the year so he has a chance to do that.
“If a player costs £95m [€124m] or £5,000 [€6,550], it is not any different for me. But it’s difficult for you to understand, I believe.
“You have to prove yourself and a player of £95m has to prove himself also. If I am not like that, then maybe the player has no motivation, so I have to be like that.
“For a manager it is the quality of the training sessions, the quality of the performances in matches, then he [the manager] has to compare with other players.”
