Faustino Asprilla Blasts Louis van Gaal for Leaving out 'Caged Tiger' Falcao

Falcao did not even make the Manchester United bench for the club's 1-0 defeat to Southampton, and one of his fellow Colombians was certainly not impressed. 

Former Newcastle and Parma star Faustino "Tino" Asprilla took to Twitter to voice his disgust at Louis van Gaal's decision to leave out the on-loan man.

Asprilla compared Falcao to a caged tiger, and he didn't stop there.

Asprilla then accused Van Gaal of failing to get the best out of South American players, citing the examples of Rivaldo and Juan Riquelme at Barcelona.

He tweeted: "Riquelme, Rivaldo and now @FALCAO. Definitely #VanMaal you are not got with South Americans. @ManUtd need to act #FalcaoaTigerinaCage"

"

The British media have speculated wildly about Falcao's wages, but he is certainly on a hefty pay packet.

However, despite the big investment, he has scored just three goals for Manchester United since arriving from Monaco in September.
