Fergie praises Macheda
Sir Alex Ferguson praised 17 year old Federico Macheda for his second goal in as many games - as the youngster rescued the three points for United against Sunderland.
Federico Macheda was flung on for the remaining 25 minutes against Aston Villa and scored a wonderstrike. He was an unused substitute against FC Porto on Wednesday but came off the bench today to score the winner.
Sir Alex Ferguson was quoted as saying "He has got something special about him, the boy. I haven’t seen the goal, but 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 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."
