Diego Maradona has branded Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal a devil for his ill-treatment of striker Radamel Falcao.
The Colombian has been benched in the last five matches of the Red Devils and has featured in about 12 games since his move to Old Trafford on a one-year loan deal.
The soccer legend said denying the 29 year- old of playing chances has made it difficult for him to prove his mettle in the club
He told reporters at a press conference held to promote a charity match in Colombia “Van Gaal is not a cool guy. He is closer to the devil than anything else. The World Cup was great and I think everyone felt Colombian at least for a while, when James or Cuadrado had the ball.
He continued “If Falcao was there, Colombia may be celebrating their first WC glory.
“Falcao was conditioned due to his severe injury. Moving from France to England was tough and he needed to adapt himself.”
