Both Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao got on the scoresheet for Manchester United today, as they beat Leicester 3-1 at Old Trafford.

Van Persie is now in the top six scorers in the league, with nine goals, leading Louis van Gaal to claim he was happier to see Falcao score, as he needed it more.

I’m more happy that Falcao scored because I think Robin has scored enough goals already. Falcao needs that goal more than Robin. But, after all, it’s fantastic they scored – beautiful goals I think with very quick transition for the goal by Falcao, with Robin also having a big part in it, so I’m very happy.
