A lot of people will be asking "Who is Federico Macheda?" after Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-2 in a crunch Sunday afternoon Premier League encounter. Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal all had wins on Saturday, with Liverpool's win taking them above United to top of the league. United took an early lead through Cristiano Ronaldo before John Carew and Gabby Agbonlahor put Aston Villa in the lead. United, missing Rooney, Berbatov, Scholes, Ferdinand, Vidic and Anderson(just to name a few), struggled to create chances. It was Cristiano Ronaldo who scored his second and put the game level with 15 minutes left.
Then Macheda made his name legendary in the stands of Old Trafford.......
Macheda joined United from Lazio's Youth system in September 2007. After signing professional papers this past August of 2008, Macheda has become a regular in the United Reserves. Born in Rome on August 22nd 1991, making his debut for United, Macheda is described as an extremely strong player, who has great positional sense in the box and clinical finishing. His nickname at United is 'Kiko'. Turning twice at the top of the box in the 92nd minute of the game, Kiko placed the ball high and to the far corner, leaving no chance for Friedel to save. The celebrations after the goal resulted in Macheda receiving a yellow card, well deserved! The win took Manchester United back to the top of the Premier League.
