Louis van Gaal has insisted that Radamel Falcao "did well" during Manchester United's 2-0 victory away at Queens Park Rangers yesterday afternoon.
The loanee striker, who has had his long-term future at Old Trafford questioned in recent weeks, had three good chances to make United's win at Loftus Road more convincing, but he failed to convert any of them.
However, despite those misses, Van Gaal was pleased with the Colombian international's overall contribution.
"It is not so important what I find, I think, because he wants to score goals. For me, I have to judge how he has played and scoring goals is an important aspect of a striker, I know," the United boss told reporters.
"It is also important if he is an attacking point and that he can play further with a striker [and] that [when] we are coming in the third or fourth phase of our attack and he did it well."
Falcao has scored three goals in 14 outings for United this term.
