Robin van Persie: May Play Alongside Falcao
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal said Friday that Van Persie could succeed playing alongside on-loan striker Falcao. "I don't think that Falcao interferes with van Persie or that he interferes with Falcao. Falcao is a very good striker, I already said that when he came here in his first press conference. I like van Persie as well -- he is also a very good striker."
Analysis:
The biggest question facing van Gaal is how to play Van Persie, Falcao and Wayne Rooney together, although it appears likely that the latter could move back a little bit to leave the front line for the former two. While it's an embarrassment of riches for Manchester United, it's not an ideal situation for fantasy owners, as Falcao and RVP are likely to each into each other's minutes.
