Manchester United are resolved to wait until May to decide whether their loan deal for Radamel Falcao will become permanent.
Falcao is on loan from Monaco.
Falcao has struggled for fitness and form during his time with United.
With the cost for United to take up their option to buy the Colombian set at £43 million, Falcao is effectively playing for his future at the club in the closing part of the season, with at least 12 games remaining – 11 in the Premier League plus Monday’s FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal.
