That assist was amazing. To notice Rooney making the run in the corner of his eye and then make a perfectly directed and weighted pass across while sliding for the ball was just

Very good performance today. Gonna start with Spurs for sure.
Should have got himself a goal or two but got an assist and is building up his fitness. A big performance against Spurs will get him going hopefully.
Contributes to a goal in every start he makes. Can't complain.
I do like his attitude, he seems to really enjoy being at United.

Or just start Wilson and Falcao and rest RVP?
A bit unlucky not to have scored from one of those Young's crosses I think.
He's a real honest pro and we're lucky to have him. Works so hard for the team and he's gelling pretty well with our other attackers right now.
I'd like to see more chances falling his way.

He seems do right things I don't worry about his goal tally right now,it will certainly improve as season progress.
I really like him.
Did really well and i expect him to get a LOT better with match time and getting used to the team and league.
I love him, honestly proper player crush.
I'd sign him just for that chant
One can nearly sense now that it's only a matter of time he sticks the peddle to the floor and takes off and once he does we'll be in for some treat.
Me too, I was briefly devastated when LVG subbed him off today as I wanted him to score that badly
. He was very good today though, and the assist to Rooney was superb.Say it every week, I had no idea this guy could actually play. If he stays injury-free, buy him. Give him what he wants.
He's starting to remind me of Tevez before he turned into a knob. Really helps us with the way he squeezes the opposition from the front.

This chant, what's it in tune with? Haven't been to OT yet this season and can't really make it out on TV
Love the way OT appreciates his efforts as well. We can't stop chanting his name, can we? How he must feel from moving to play in front of under 10K people to over 75K people chanting his name!
Excellent today. I was really hoping he was going to score, done everything else bar that. Hopefully start in the next game and grab the goal he deserves
We actually got a new Welbeck, instead of a goalscoring machine. He does everything, but doesn't score. I am quite sure the goals will come, but it is a bit funny.
He's probably my third favorite player (after De Gea and Rafael) despite being here for only 2 minutes. Terrific attitude and a great player.
I was a little dissapointed he was taken off but in retrospect that was a positive sign that Van Gaal appreciated how much he contributed and wants him fit for the next game so can't risk him. I don't really care about his goal tally to be honest, he's a team player, I don't think number of goals will be that important when deciding to sign him, just his fitness record.
He has played only 420 minutes and has scored twice (and made three assists). It is too early to say that he doesn't score.
I have a genuine man crush on him
He had a lot of chances, you can't deny that, even today.
I know that it's early, it's not only the time he played, but also his roles at the beginning of the season and I did say that I do think that the goals will come, but for now he is doing what Welbeck did (and I really rate Welbeck, so it's not a complaint) instead of scoring.
He's doing far better than Welbeck and actually 5 goals/assists in 420 minutes (which is less than playing 5 games entirely) are decent stats. One goal/assist for 85 minutes, coming back from a terrible injury and being on a new league is decent.
And once he gets settled here, we will see a lot of goals from the Tiger.
He didn't play as a winger, like Welbeck did, we can only compare the stats when Welbeck played as a striker, so....
I agree with what you say about the future, but for now we got something no one was actually expecting. When the goals come, he'll be even better, that's all fine, but the goals are not here right now, that's what I am talking about.
I think this point is overlooked by many. Granted he has got real quality it still takes some players a while to adapt to the wing, i'd say strikers are affected more by it.
Still he looks a bit rusty in front of goal but his overall contribution is good.
Some people joke but they would take it up the bum for Falcao. I'm glad he was taken off because it just felt like it wasn't his day. On another day he'd walk off with a hat trick. Besides, after 60 odd minutes we took our foot off the peddle and it was better to give him the rest for Sunday. It's not important for him to get the forth goal. I'd rather he get the winner against Spurs.
He didn't score today, but for me it was quite easily his best performance for us so far.
Living up to his "Good Tevez" nickname at the moment.
But does need the goals to come, that was always a bugbear with Tevez.

I like him a lot, we just need to get his fitness up and he will be flying.
He deserved a goal today, needs to work on his first touch but I'll put that down to rustiness.
He was great today, really happy for him. I think him and rvp up top can work really well together. They open up so much space for the central players when they make thier wide runs.
It's fine playing two number 9s against a poor Newcastle side, but it isn't the way forward for us in the long run. Falcao and RvP are too slow and too similar to be troubling elite opposition - which is what our aim and direction should be.
I like Falcao, but people are going way overboard with everything he does of note. Unless he starts showing bonafide 'world beater' form, there's no way we should be paying any more than 30m for him in the summer.

great assist however he could have scored three from all the crosses he just missed. Would have been awesome if he could have.
Really happy with him today; adds a lot to the attack.
Fitness is improving, made sense to remove him today with the game already won, got to start at Spurs

God, his running is different gear. so clever. Can't wait until the team get used to him, they will find him in some amazing positions.
Was really looking forward to seeing him live and it didn't disappoint. Really hope he starts against Tottenham and that's why he went off early.

His movement really is amazing. If we were the Utd of 3 or 4 years ago when we used to create a ton of chances nearly every game, i can only imagine the amount of goals Falcao would score.
