After scoring just four goals and put in uninspiring performance, with less attacking threat than Emile Heskey’s nan, after uninspiring performance – Red Devils fans can finally, had they not already done, come to the conclusion that he isn’t all he is cracked up to be.

Here are a few things that have happened since the Colombian last had a shot on target:

He has earned £3 million

Cheer up Radamel, while you might have spurned any chance of being taken seriously on the world’s stage again, you’ve earned a shedload of money. That might buy you a two up, two down back in Monaco, or maybe not.

Harry Kane has scored 10 goals

When one hero falls, step forward another hero to take the Premier League by the scruff of the neck. ‘Prince Harry’ has now scored 30 goals in a remarkable breakthrough season at Tottenham, is there any limit to his capabilities?

Sergio Aguero has scored six goals

Of course there’s always the old dependable players. Sergio Aguero has scored 27 goals this season now, maybe Falcao could take a few notes.

Alan Pardew has won 19 points for Crystal Palace

Even the sun is shining on Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew. Look at his self-satisfied grin, the grin that comes with success – I don’t imagine Radamel Falcao has had a similar grin this season.

Juan Mata has given out 57 hugs

Probably more, he loves an embrace. The flying Spaniard could probably do with giving some of that love to his team-mate, he can’t be having a great time under the weight of so much criticism.
