Manchester United striker James Wilson has spoken about his team-mates Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao, saying what strengths he would like to take from each of the forwards.

The 19-year-old Wilson, who has scored four goals in 17 first-team appearances for the club, says it is a privilege to train alongside the trio, and has spoken about which key asset he would like to adopt from each of the strikers.

For Rooney, Wilson would like to take on some of Rooney's deadball prowess.

"I would take Wayne’s free-kicks because he practices them every day and more often than not they go on target at least, if not in the top corner," Wilson told Inside United magazine.

For Van Persie, who Wilson played alongside during the Under-21 draw at Leicester on Monday night, he said: "I would take Robin's movement because he has done it for many years now, using opposite movements to get on the ball."

And while Falcao has struggled this season in his loan spell from Monaco, Wilson says he has been impressed by the Colombian striker's instincts.

"I would have to take Radamel’s instincts because anything in the box drops to him – he is always in the right place!"
