Manchester United legend Andy Cole is backing Radamel Falcao for great success at Old Trafford.
The Colombia forward, a deadline day loan signing from big-spending French club Monaco, impressed in his first Premier League start for United at Leicester on Sunday.
"Of course, he had a bad injury with his cruciate [knee ligament] and it's a case of getting yourself back up to match speed," Cole told ManUtd.com.
"There were flashes the other day at Leicester and everyone knows what a quality player he is.
"It was a super ball for Robin van Persie and a superb header for us to go 1-0 up. He will score goals at this level because he's a quality player.
"Fingers crossed, he'll stay away from injuries and do very well for Manchester United.
"For me personally, when I look at him, I see an old-fashioned centre-forward.
"He wants to get into the box and score goals. He is very brave. You don't see a lot of that any more in the game.
"It's why he went to Monaco in the first place for £50million. He gives you a hell of a lot of goals."
Cole added: "I wouldn't say there are others like him out there.
"The old-fashioned no.9 is a dying breed. There are not many out-and-out goal scorers who want to run into the box to score goals.
"So I think they are a dying breed. When you do have someone like Falcao, if he does score goals, he will be treasured here.
"It's a case of gradually easing him into it as he's been out for a long time and going from there."
