Radamel Falcao hasn’t had the ideal start to his time at Manchester United but the striker is hoping that now he is fit he can prove himself and convince the club to sign him on a permanent basis.

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. Obviously I have to analyse the situation, see if I play more and see what decision the board takes. But from my point of view, I really want to stay. I am very happy because of the run that we are on. I am not playing many minutes but I am sure that there will more opportunities to play. 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. I’m almost at 100 per cent now so let’s wait and see what the decision of the coach is, when he wants to use me more. We have a group of strikers who are very good and that’s good for everyone. That means there is always a level of competition between us, healthy competition, and obviously I am very happy with how the team is doing. 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. But it’s all good here. I am very happy in this city, in this club and I am enjoying it here.
