Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was happy with Radamel Falcao's performance in victory at QPR.

The 28-year-old promptly wasted four prime chances to score, including twice failing to fire into an empty net.

Despite another off-kilter display, United boss Van Gaal said: "I think he did well."

United's Dutch manager added: "It's not so important what I think, because he wants to score goals.

"And for me I have to judge how he has played.

"Scoring goals is an important aspect of a striker I know, but for me it's also very important if he is an attacking point, that he can play further and that with another striker we are coming into third and fourth phases of our attack.

"And I think he did well."
