BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Manchester United's injury-hit striker Radamel Falcao marked his return to the starting lineup for the first time since October with a second-half equaliser in Saturday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Aston Villa.

And while there were no guarantees from United manager Louis van Gaal that the Colombia international would keep his place away to Newcastle United on Dec. 26, Falcao's fine 53rd minute headed goal will surely give the Dutchman food for thought.
