Radamel Falcao Player Profile
The Manchester United striker struggled again last night at Deepdale.
United came from behind to beat Preston but only clicked into gear once Falcao had been substituted.
Preston led through Scott Laird but goals from Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini and Wayne Rooney sent Louis van Gaal's men through.
But Falcao was subbed after an hour with United still one down.
Radamel Falcao needs a hug, says Kevin Davies
I was marking him at corners and he just looked like he needed a cuddle, he looked a little lost at times
“You got to give Van Gaal credit [for the turnaround],” the former Bolton man told talkSPORT.
“He took Falcao off and he was very quiet.
“I was marking him at corners and he just looked like he needed a cuddle, he looked a little lost at times.
“Obviously it’s a different style of football and a different environment for him, but Van Gaal made the change and that’s why he such a great manager.
“They were struggling to get though us, we were really untroubled until they scored, and their first goal changed the game and they obviously went on to win it.”
