"Manchester United" striker Radamel Falcao, in an interview, stated that football players almost have no opportunity to choose the club where they want to play.
The 28-year-old Colombian was linked with a move to "Real" Madrid last summer, but surprisingly, "Monaco" loaned out the experienced footballer to the "Man Utd" team.
It seems that R.Falcao's expressed opinion aligns with his career. After an impressive 2012-13 season with Madrid's "Atletico" team, the striker was linked with the top clubs in Europe, but unexpectedly moved to Monaco for 60 million euros.
When asked by a journalist if the player is responsible for his career, R.Falcao replied: "No, he is not. Sometimes I smile when people ask me why I came here or why I'm not there. It's as if a footballer could choose where he wants to play."
"I could ask journalists why they don't work for CNN or ESPN. It's the same in football, and opportunities to join the team you want to play for are very rare. Throughout my career, I have experienced this feeling more than once," - concluded the striker.
In the "Red Devils" team, R.Falcao is still not a key player, and this season he has only played in 10 matches.
