After coming on as a sub against Aston Villa last weekend, when United were 2-1 down, nobody could have predicted our 17-year-old was about to go on to score an injury time winner.
When he came on with 15 minutes today, it was hard to imagine he would be able to pull off the same feat, given United were drawing at the time and Sunderland were defending well.
Yet within moments of coming on to the pitch, the ball was in the back of the net and Macheda was celebrating.
For any player to score two goals in their first two games would be impressive. When you consider he’s just 17-years-old, both appearances were as subs and both goals scored were winners, it’s bloody fantastic!
Go on, son!
Well done Macheda.He might play a huge role in the title race but he won’t be able to even get a medal.Right now we could have been potentially level with Liverpool and with them having the much better goal difference.6 wins in 7 is all we need but to be fair,it’s not too realistic at the moment.One reason is the way we are playing.An other is the fact that in May are fixtures are fucked,plain and simple.But here’s where the good news come.We have 2 home games next and Liverpool host Arsenal and go to Hull.2 draws is a dream scenario.It will mean that we could potentially be 8 points clear from them with 4 games to go.That would certainly put a big dent on Liverpool’s title challenge before a ball was kicked in May.
