2) Mourinho could be better for his confidence
Falcao’s relationship with Louis van Gaal came under some doubt in various media reports, with the Manchester Evening News reporting that the player’s agent Jorge Mendes felt he would have performed better under Sir Alex Ferguson. This relationship breakdown could well have played a serious part in Falcao’s struggles at United, and he wouldn’t be the first to have a high-profile falling-out with the Dutchman. Working under Mourinho, the South American could rediscover the kind of self-belief that made him one of the world’s most feared forwards during his time at Atletico Madrid.
