El Tigre is not feeling well. The Colombian star missed the Red Devils' crucial match at home to Chelsea. Today, he is set to miss the big clash away to Manchester City as well. Dutch manager Louis van Gaal declared four words, four sad words from the point of view of avid Mancunian supporters.
"Falcao is still injured," he stated.
In addition, Louis van Gaal, who spoke to the press on Friday, confirmed another thing: Wayne Rooney is fit and will feature for Man United at the Etihad Stadium. The skipper served a suspension for kicking West Ham's Stewart Downing, back in late September.
The time has come for Rooney, widely celebrated for his overhead kick goal against the Citizens in February 2011, to step onto the field again.
"I have heard that he [Rooney] has scored a lot of goals against City, the most of any player," LVG said.
"I said it to him to stimulate him but he doesn't need that. I am very happy that he can play again and he shall play."
Rooney, like Falcao and any other Man United player, is currently out of the English Premier League's Top 10 goalscorers this season. The English forward has netted only three goals; that is, one-third of Aguero's tally.
In the absence of injured Falcao, will the Red Devils' number 10 icon be decisive in front of goal during the Manchester Derby?
