Federico Macheda – Manchester United New Rooney?

I had hardly heard of Federico Macheda or Kiko before the match of Manchester United vs Aston Villa. This new teenage sensation had first scored in Aston Villa match then another one in Sunderland match. Despite the fact he scored against Sunderland did upset me a bit because I was staying at Tyne & Wear for around 2 years. However, once again he proved that he has a killer instinct.

The Sun hails Macheda with “Mach made in Heaven”. Well, Sir Alex Ferguson made the following comments about him in the post match interview:

“He has got something special about him. One of the players said he actually tried it.

“He side-footed it as it came to him. It’s that quick-thinking that goalscorers have got. He has just got that instinct.

“He knows the role we want him to play. We want him to penetrate in behind them.

“He has got good movement, he has got quickness in his movement and it showed that when he came on.

“He wasn’t fazed by anything. Right away, he got involved in the game and he had a good 20 minutes for us.”

As we all know, Sir Alex Ferguson has been managing Manchester United for 23 years and won 24 titles including all cup competitions. When he praise a player, that player must be really good. In his comments, it clearly show he is delighted with Macheda. Let’s enjoy Macheda goals.
