Well United aren't going to stump up the amount of cash that Monaco want, seeing as the guy is failing to prove any level of fitness at all.
That knee injury completely buggered the lad.
Monaco will have to take big hit on fee and he himself will have to lower wage demands.

There is also the age question ... was that ever satisfactorily resolved?

It's not often you see a player of Falcao's quality making a move to a club like Monaco especially when you consider the club he left in order to go there, Atletico. Very rare indeed. He's 28 now, getting on in his years and he could've achieved so much more than he has if it wasn't for that third party ownership shit. But now that Monaco have him, why the hell did they hand him over to United? It's not like he'll ever end up joining them unless they can match what Monaco are offering.
Falcao was practically trafficked to Monaco by third party, but he also recognised that he could never sign for Real directly from AM. As mentioned Monaco are tidying up wages and Falcao has struggled with injury, let United take that hit and hope either they pr Madrid take him off the books.

Plus it's just ridiculous assembling such a team there. About 1500 regular supporters at most. pish.
He wanted to charge a ridiculous amount for tickets and have just millionaires/billionaires turn up lol

It is worth noting had Atletico would never been able to get him where for not the third party ownership. Also they wouldnt be able to afford to keep him either, they went through a spell where they couldn't afford to pay the players so the third party paid the wages from then on hence Atletico giving a quarter of the fee to falcao.

Part of the deal for the third party paying his wages was they get free sponsorship at the ground which was weird

Yeah. without realising that Billionaires don't really 'do football'. And if they do, they most certainly don't expect to pay!
