Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney is happy for Radamel Falcao over his goal last week.

Falcao struck in the 1-1 draw at Aston Villa.

"It was great for Falcao to get on the scoresheet, and it was a great header," Rooney said.

"I'm pleased for him, and I hope he continues that into the next few games.

"It must be strange for the new players to have more games than ever over Christmas, having had the time off previously.

"They have to adapt and be ready for it, while being aware of the fixture list.

"I'm sure they'll be prepared for the upcoming games."
