"He has been absolutely excellent throughout his career and everyone was looking forward to seeing him play when his arrival was announced. He’s a goalscorer, a good player who gets involved, and again he’s needed time to settle in, especially coming back from such a bad injury. But once he starts scoring regularly then you’ll see an even better player."
Old Trafford icon Denis Law has always been a fan of Radamel Falcao and believes it is only a matter of time before the Colombian discovers his best form for Manchester United.
Falcao joined the Reds on transfer deadline day in August, when he completed a season-long loan deal from Monaco. Since then, he has scored four goals in 18 appearances across all competitions, most recently netting in the 3-1 win over Leicester City on 31 January.
Law is second on the list of United’s all-time top scorers with 237 goals to his name and the 'King of the Stretford End' is confident 29-year-old Falcao will come good, particularly if he maintains his commitment to creating chances for the team up front.
"When you look at our squad, it looks really good," Law told United Review
. "The guys who have come in have shown what they can do, and we’ll soon see them regularly at their best. Angel Di Maria is obviously a special talent, and while Radamel Falcao maybe hasn’t scored as many goals as he would have liked so far, there’s no questioning his pedigree and his ability.
"He has been absolutely excellent throughout his career and everyone was looking forward to seeing him play when his arrival was announced. He’s a goalscorer, a good player who gets involved, and again he’s needed time to settle in, especially coming back from such a bad injury. But once he starts scoring regularly then you’ll see an even better player.
"As a goalscorer, you go through spells where everything is going in and other times when nothing will go right for you at all. You miss the target, hit the woodwork or the goalie makes a fabulous save, and it feels like a lot of things are conspiring against you.
"All you can do is keep trying, keep doing what you do best and nobody can ask any more than that. There’s no question about Falcao’s commitment at all; he’s proven that beyond any doubt."
