LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United forward Radamel Falcao is "100 percent ready to give everything" according to wife Lorelei Taron who hit back at manager Louis van Gaal's suggestion that the Colombian is only fit enough to play 20 minutes.

Van Gaal said Falcao must play in the second team before he would be considered to start a game and "was not interested" if the 28-year-old was unhappy with his current role.
