Carrick: Now Watch Falcao Go

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick hopes fans will now see the best of Radamel Falcao following the Colombian’s equalising goal against Aston Villa.

After a stop-start opening to his Reds career, Falcao was named in the first XI for only the fourth time for the trip to Villa Park on Saturday, but he took full advantage to rescue a point for United.

"He's scored so many goals over the years and you always feel that when he gets that chance he will score,” Carrick told MUTV. "He's scored a terrific header again today and I'm pleased for him."

As well as bagging his second goal for the club, Falcao completed a full 90 minutes for the first time this season and the Reds' no.16 fully expects the Colombian to fire United to bigger and better things following his confidence-boosting goal.

"After being out for a bit that's him back and hopefully he can go on a bit of a streak for us and we, as a team, can return to winning ways and get on a roll again," said Michael.

"Things are going okay, although we hoped for more [at Villa], but we didn’t lose and hopefully we can carry that on over Christmas and be stronger for it when we come out on the other side in January."
