I suppose he has United over a barrel to an extent, although if this is true, United need to be strong and make it clear De Gea goes on the bench for a year if he doesn't either sign up or fuck off this summer.
I actually feel a bit sorry for the position they are in with this (again with the caveat that there is a grain of truth to the story)

I don't feel even the tiniest bit of sympathy for the rags. They have rode roughshod over everyone for years. You can guarantee Bacon would sell deGea in a flash if this was the case.

I feel sorry for them on the basis that this is not a footballing issue, and is brought about by a fucking parasite. Selling him isn't an option if he refuses to go, putting him on the bench cuts your nose off to spite your face, whilst keeping Falcao makes a massive dent in their wage allowance. A stitch up with Real Madrid (with whom Mendes has a fantastic relationship) would probably mean that if Madrid waited a year, both Mendes and De Gea would receive a chunk of the transfer fee which would otherwise have been due from Madrid
Incidentally, Mendes happens to be Mourinho''s best mate, and interference like this in a rival's squad which could have a significant impact on their ability to compete next season, of course are entirely coincidental that this is a good thing for Chelsea. Don't rule that out of your thoughts.
I've no sympathy for them as a club, my sympathy lies in that this is a situation any club could find themselves in

The agent said when Utd signed Falcao, that it was a done deal they would be signing him permanently & paying the transfer fee. He said there was an agreement in place.
If Utd are trying to break that agreement, then it's understandable there is friction.
I hope Falcao doesn't stay there because he is always in the right position to score goals & unless his legs have siezed up, he will start to put the chances away sooner or later.

When I watch Falcao though, he is the exact opposite to the City strikers in that ours often hang back waiting for a ball to be threaded through a crowd, the ball comes into a dangerous area & nobody is there, he is there for the rags, but the ball isn't.
If DiMaria stays, it's only a matter of time before he settles, then the ball & Falcao will start meeting each other regularly 4 yards out from goal.
