Manchester United legend Paul Scholes says vice-chairman Ed Woodward deserves praise for his work on the successful Radamel Falcao deal. Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "When I watched Radamel Falcao play for Porto, Atletico Madrid and Monaco I saw a striker with excellent movement and a goalscoring record that is simply out of this world.
"At United, on loan for this season initially, Falcao creates competition in United's forward line. There is no way that Louis van Gaal can play Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Falcao together. It will have to be two from three and which two it is hard to say as yet.
"Credit has to go to Ed Woodward, the club's vice-chairman, who has left Van Gaal a squad that should be capable of finishing in the top four. I don't think the League title is realistic but Champions League football is the aim. Now it is over to Van Gaal to shape the team."
