He is one of the best strikers in the world, but Radamel Falcao couldn't even get a place in the 18-man Manchester United squad that lost at home to Southampton today, leading to rumours of his growing unhappiness at the club.
According to the rumours, Falcao left the stadium furious and didn't even watch the game, before telling his agent he has changed his mind about a permanent switch to United in summer 2015.
Ian Ladyman of the Daily Mail added fuel to the rumours, by posting a tweet saying he could not see Falcao among Manchester United's other players in the stands. He did say Falcao could be out of sight in a private box, though.

Cant see Falcao in directors' box with other squad players. He may well be in private box somewhere. #MUFC

It's too early to tell if there is any real substance to these rumours, but it wouldn't be the first time United have lost a top player because they wouldn't give him a place in the squad (see: Paul Pogba.)
Whether there turns out to be truth to the rumours or not, Falcao has looked bright in recent weeks, so he has every right to be furious about his exclusion from the squad. His movement in the attacking third could have been key to unlocking Southampton's solid defence, in a game where they didn't really test Fraser Forster.
