Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao has explained why his goal celebrations are so passionate.

The Colombian centre-forward has been a starter in all of United's last five games and scored point-saving equalisers at both Aston Villa and Stoke City.

"I place a lot of value in the hard work that I have to put in for each goal and I know just how much effort it requires," he told manutd.com.

"So that's why I celebrate like that," he explained. "For me, each goal means a lot so I put a lot of passion into my celebrations."
