Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal yesterday explained dropping Juan Mata for defeat at Leicester City.
Van Gaal decided to give deadline day signing Radamel Falcao his first Premier League start, with captain Wayne Rooney operating behind the Colombian and Robin van Persie.
The Dutchman told Sky Sports: "We have played well but I feel we can improve.
"I was not so satisfied with the performance of Rooney as a striker and Mata as a midfielder. And that is why I am changing it.
"Rooney did well but he was not spectacular and he is a multi-functional player. Falcao is a striker and I expect he can do it better."
