Radamel Falcao's struggles have prompted a flurry of rumours about possible landing spots for when his putrid time with Manchester United comes to an end.

Links with Juventus have emerged in recent days as a possible destination for the Colombian striker whose loan deal will soon end and whose future at AS Monaco appears to be all-but over.

However, Falcao appears to be determined to turn things around at Old Trafford, brushing aside speculation about his future.

"Juventus looking for me? They talk a lot, but now I'm focused 100 percent on Manchester United," Falcao told Colombia's Radio Caracol.

Juventus managing director Giuseppe Marotta said that the striker was keen on signing for the Turin side before United increased its offer.

The Serie A club have reportedly revived its interest and have been in contact with Falcao's parent club over a potential summer move.

Falcao hit an all-time low at United when he was demoted to the youth squad. His dismal season has only seen him find the back of the net four times since joining the club during the summer transfer window.

He's never seemed comfortable, with reports suggesting Falcao was struggling emotionally with his failure to make an impact on Louis Van Gaal's team.

But he remains optimistic that he can play an important role in United's quest to qualify for the Champions League.

"Before the end of the season there are some crucial matches and I hope that this situation will change," he said.
