Manchester United manager, Louis Van Gaal, was impressed with Radamel Falcao's performance on Saturday, despite missing clear-cut chances in front of goal.
Falcao's future has had a dark cloud over it since being left out by Van Gaal in the defeat to Southampton, but he was given a chance to prove himself against Queens Park Rangers.

The Dutchman admitted that he was impressed with Falcao's overall game, even though he failed to put away a few chances right in front of the goal.
"It's not important what I think about Falcao, because he wants to score goals," Van Gaal told ESPN.
"I have to judge how he has played, and scoring goals is an important aspect of a striker, but for me it's also important that he can be a point of the attack, and I think he did well."
The former Netherlands manager made a few a tactical changes at half-time and many were surprised that he took off Jonny Evans for young James Wilson.
"We had to stretch the pitch," He added.
"When you are not stretching with your strikers, the opponent makes the space compact. That is why [Angel] Di Maria and Wilson have been playing in attack."
Van Gaal spoke about playing with a diamond midfield in the second half and revealed that even though the side created more with it, they were more venerable in defence.
"I think we created chances with a midfield diamond but the balance is weak with the defence." Van Gaal concluded saying.
Manchester United will be turning their attention to the FA Cup this weekend, as they face Cambridge United.
