Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has revealed that he has been happy with Radamel Falcao's contribution since he joined the club in the summer.
Falcao is currently sidelined through injury, but after the Colombian was dropped for the last fixture that he played against West Bromwich Albion, Van Gaal has insisted that the decision was based on the balance of his team rather than Falcao's performances.
The Dutchman told reporters: "The problem for Falcao is because of balance in the game. I had to change, then he came in and assisted a goal. Then in training, he was injured.
"I cannot judge now because he is injured and I changed him not because of his performance but because of the balance of the team, which is much more important than the individual."
Falcao has netted once in five games since moving to the Premier League.
