Federico Macheda has had plenty of tongues wagging recently, with devout followers of our younger players tipping him for big things. Just last week he scored a hattrick against Newcastle Reserves to salvage a point for us.
With Dimitar Berbatov injured and Wayne Rooney suspended for this afternoon’s game against Aston Villa, Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed we could get a look at our young striker.
“Berbatov and Rooney missing is a bad blow to us, but it’s there and there’s nothing we can do about it,” said Ferguson. “I’ve got options of course. I could play Ronaldo through the middle, I could play Welbeck, I could play Macheda or I could play Giggs – the great thing is the flexibility of players, Giggs, Ronaldo, those types. The boy Macheda is developing at a great rate of speed now, his performances for the reserves have been very good, he’s a natural finisher and he’ll definitely be on the bench at least with Welbeck.”
Man Utd News 24/7
i say stick him on the bench at least
i hope we’ll play with some of the less bigger names today. on several occasions we saw that these lads are capable of it. it brings some fresh air into the team and certainly the players who are not playing on a regular basis will be desperate to prove fergie their ability.
i guess (hope) the line-up will be something like this:
vds
rafael – ferdinand – evans – evra
ronaldo – fletch – carrick – park (giggs)
welbeck – tevez
is rafael ready to play? who would be his backup? i would also support a lineup without ronaldo, maybe playing park and nani on the wings.
eh, did i mention that this is a must win game for us? i’m desperately hoping for an early goal to calm my (and the players) nerves… i hope they come out like a real united team and give their all from the first minute. please support them as loud as you can, if you are lucky enough to be at Old Trafford today!!!
COME ON YOU REDS!
but hes not in the squad
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7972801.stm
cant believe all the nervous comments on here come on lads its a must win support your team have you 4gotten man u are the greatest club ever after all the team you are chasing are a2man lucky team with a shite manager LIVERPOOL FC
I think Tevez will be partnered by Giggs or Ronaldo.It’s a shame that Macheda is left out.Anyway a 4-3-3 system with a lot of movement and interchanging from the 3 frontmen should be enough to open them up.We need goals as well guys.
Redgister you won’t be hearing United fans booing the players no matter what happens today.That’s your job.Remember Fulham at home?
what a goal to complete the hattrick
His 3rd against Newcastle was class, the way he killed the ball and slotted it under the keeper was sublime. Give him a chance and don’t waste him like we did with Rossi.
swissred,Rafa is not ready.He is not far behind now.I just hope Wes recovers soon.
true costas whats worse leaving the ground with 15min to go all booing your team at fulltime 50 50 i reckon both disrespecful
Neville is supposed to be coming into the team today..As for Macheda…put him on the bench and if need be bring the kid on…looks good from what i saw in the Newcastle game and a couple of other reserve games…he can interchange passes quickly and can move past players…not great pace but seems like he has got a good head on his shoulders,,hope he comes good….also what is up with Petrucci ..havent heard a lot abt him…
redgister, not to speak too kindly of our rivals, but you have to admit that the scouse bastards have been in great form, and played brilliant football the last the last 4-5 weeks, not just because of Stevie Me and Torres…
rooney_thebestest Macheda is not in the squad unfortunately.I think that our team will be
VDS-O’Shea(or Nev),Rio,Evans,Evra-Park,Carrick,Fletch,Nani(or Giggs)-Tevez,Ronaldo.
Redgister they are both disrepsectful but we never left Old Trafford with 15 minutes to play.If you are referring to the LIverpool game,that means that they started leaving when the score was 1-2 and we still had 11 out there.Not a chance.5 minutes before the end sounds more like it.
My hopes are on Tevez and Welbeck up front, I think Macheda could need one more year before he makes it to the first team.
I hope Nani is there..I personally feel that he deserves more chances…too often we have gone in for Park when Nani could have been a good punt…Too bad we wont be able to see Macheda…but the lad has got plenty of time on his side.
Notice that Anderson is not in the squad.I wonder if Fergie might give us an update about him after the game.I hope the thigh strain isn’t too serious.
I wish he isnt injured seriously because Anderson is the only midfielder we have who has both bite and creativity
Say what you will Macheda looks 4 times better then wellback
rooney_thebestest i agree.When he has his head in the game though.We all slated him against Liverpool,but the fact is he was still coming back from an injury.Everyone(apart from Rooney of course) takes time to get settled.And now he is injured again.And the worst part is,he got injured training for Brazil all the while he was never going to play a game for them at the time.
Anderson8 you might be right but SAF would never trust a player for his United debut at Squeaky bum time.
sorry costas but you are wrong in every comment 1st of all watch the replay the footage clearly shows fans! leaving around the 75th min
Even if Ando wasnt injured SAF will probably play his vulnarable 4-4-2 with giggs and fletch in the middle,my thinking is the old man is to hesitant to use the youngsters becaus lets face Ando is by a mile better then fletch but due to the fact that SAF is in love with his to God chilldren(O’shea and fletch) the more talented players will just sit on the bench for example fabio is way beta then oshea dats my peice n im out
Maybe they left at half time?Come on redgister let’s be serious.
Also hope Fabio will get the chance.
But common! Lets face it. It is too dangerous in the game we must win.
O’Shea will play. And i doubt these days Ando is better player than Fletch.
Fletch has been the better player this season that’s true.But i feel that the best combination when everyone is on form is Carrick and Anderson.
I don’t think Welbeck will start. Probably Tevez with Ronaldo up front. We Giggs, Fletcher, Scholes & Park to start
costas
no, my friend
Hargo-Scholesy )
i can see giggs played behind tevez..they seemed to link up well during the carling cup games..and if i remember correctly we scored quite a few goals in those games too…
Oh my Carling Cup. You can not judge on it.
corea would you go for Scholes at this stage of his career?Of course,Hargo’s presence would allow him to have more freedom in his play but i think we need two players who can track back and go forward with the same ability.That’s why i went for Carrick and Ando.One thing is for sure.It will be a long time before we see Hargreave and Scholes play together.
costas
“when everyone is on form”
your words
i didn’t see the best of Ando. Carrick for me isn’t that gutsy.
For me Hargo is the first choice covering midfielder. without doubt.
Ops, forgot Carrick. Carrick in place of Park, Fletcher on the right
well the good news is berbetov is out, macheda a unknown quantity so I doubt he will risk it, fergie will propbly go for ronaldo and tevez in attack. my 11 would be
vds
o shea ferdinand evans evra
carrick fletcher
nani/park ronaldo tevez giggs
@costas…Hargo and Anderson would be a great pairing….both can hassle people off the ball and both have bundles of energy…I dunno why but Carrick seems lightweight for big teams…Never felt that he could boss the game…just a personal feeling….
@ corea…scholsey likes to sit deep nowadays and with him and Hargo we wouldnt have a balanced midfield because we need one of them to venture forward enough to make runs in the box or give that killer ball.
Marq Scholes can’t play remember.Park,Carrick,Fletcher and Nani(or Giggs) wll be our midfield.
Corea i meant on form but in their current age.These days i prefer Scholesy coming of the bench and making an impact.The same with Giggs.I agree that Hargreaves is gutsier.I just wish next year we get a big season from the lad.He deserves one.
ok ok ) that’s just a dream (
When all is said an done utd need to win that much is obvious.
I actually feel that at this part of the season is where Hargreaves will be missed( and felt that way since it was announced that he would be out for the season.)
As he has big game experience and can play in various positions with quality and authority.
Hoping that next season we can see a team along the lines of…
Foster-Need to be making 1st choice
Rafael-or Wes/Fabio
Evra-As long as he´s not up against Lennon/Walcott/SWP
Vidic
Ferdinand
Hargreaves-Gives utd energy and quality
Carrick-quarter back style player
Anderson-Same as Hargreaves
Rooney-Nuff said
Berbatov-Needs to pick up his performances but technically as good as anyone
Ribery/Etoó-Needed to replace Ronaldo.
team just announced!
vds
neville
oshea
evans
evra
nani
carrick
fletcher
giggs
ronaldo
tevez
subs
macheda
welbeck
lee martin
darron gibson
eckersley
foster
JoS central defender (
No Fabio. Fabio didn’t play the reserves game, wtf ?
o shea in the middle that is a disaster waiting to happen, I am hoping even though neville is not the player he was is at the heart of the defence, the middlesbro game away last april showed why oshea cant play at CB.
oh this is gonna be a long afternoon
look at the ‘experience’ we have on the bench
Welbeck, Gibson, Martin, Macheda, Eckersley.
its a day for the big boys like ronaldo and tevez to stand up and be counted
JOS in defense _ :S im worried
Just have to wait and see whether Nev plays at right back or centre half.What does Fabio have to do to sit on the bench?Come on!
Villas wingers are going to be too speedy for gary or oshea so it really doesnt matter who plays there. Carew is huge so it wont be a good idea to pit rednev against him. this is going to be intense. im going for a high scoring match. im pretty sure agbonlahor, young, milner and barry are going to cause our defence a lot of trouble. just hope that our attack hogs most of the possession so the defence hardly has to play..
That Vidic sending off is hampering us for the 3rd game in a row.It will be difficult for this defence to handle Carew and Agbonlahor if we sit for 5 minutes back.We have to attack them until we have scored 2 or 3.
soooo??? what do we do now? Someone like Macheda on?
No surprise for me.Without Rooney we can’t peg them back and without Rio or Vida we are vulnerable at the back and especially the high balls.Today we are like a team with no beggining and no end.We need to peg them back.Establish ourselves.I don’t know if Macheda is the answer.
we need luck today.
i don’t really see what reserves we have in case we will have to get from behind.
tevez just isn’t effective as an alone central striker. but to be fair he played for his country at the end of the world.
hope is the only hope.
I’d say put on Park for Giggs and move Ronaldo up top….
It won’t happen though…
Fletch is playing well
Right now I would be surprised if we got one point, forget three. Every time villa go forward, our defense seems to be at sixes and sevens…If this is how it is, I would send on a few of the youngsters…give macheda his debut…tevez needs support and in a debutant we will have someone desperate to score…I want park on as well…someone who’ll work his socks off…GN off for sure, don’t know who else…
Honestly, how much do we miss rooney…his sending off was the worst thing that could have happened to us at fulham…
disaster my friends (((
nani+ronaldo
please slap these men
If there ever has been a meltdown, this is it…having said that I think we need to keep this in perspective…We have a game in hand which can see us one point ahead…I would have taken that any day…what I am concerned about is momentum..
Macheda looks good
really good hes fast good brain and 100% effert
he’s helpin tevez out to drop a bit deeper
I’ve been a big supporter of CR7 i’d let him go on a bosman with mood im in wat a wanker if he had a little bit of Fletchers heart he’d be twice the player he is, what was fergie thinking neville against carew i know im going to get stick but he is past his best every time he’s played this season he’s been torn to shreds
He is playing well and working his socks off. Fighting off challenges and his some what poor touch.
When Ronaldo plays like a man and does not let the treatment he receives get in his head he does things like score that goal. He got fouled, got on with the play, got back up, sprinted for his team, got in a good position and finished it. When he pouts and does not give his all he loses the ball and Villa are allowed to push forward without him tracking back at all. He redemmed himself and he seems really up for it now. COME ON UNITED!
LOOK AT TEVEZ TRACKING BACK THERE! SIGN HIM UP!!!
Ronaldo has just scored.
FEDERICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!

FUCK ME! SERIOUSLY FUCK ME! I’M STILL PINCHING MYSELF! IS THIS THE GAME THAT TURNS IT AROUND FOR US, ALA FA CUP SEMI FINAL ARSENAL 1999?
no words guys. i’ve had tears after Macheda scored.
we made this ending of the championship with our own hands.
i don’t remember the last time we came from behind and won sisnce the everton game 2007.
GETTTTTTTTT IN THEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Liverpool…. are you fucking watching, you dipper bastards, we aint gonna give in, you cunts……
COME ON YOU FUCKING REDS………!!!!!!!
Only United!Minus 8 players,2-1 down with 10 to play and we win it with a 17 year old Italian!Even Ronaldo got exited in the end!Rio injured and all was so excited he jumped and almost reached the press box!MACHEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!Scott are you alive?
AND KIKO MACHEDA SCOOOOOOOOOORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
scouse cunts! well done macheda lad
Macheda played his socks off and got a deserved goal. Never quit and was just over powering the Villa players. What a player he could become! A great day to be a Red Devil! MACHEDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scott, you’re a fucking psychic genius. What a fucking game, what a goal, what a result.
THAT’S WHY WE’RE CHAMPIONS!
ARE YOU WATCHING MERSEYSIDE?!?!?!?
WE SHALL NOT, WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!!!!
COERA I FUCKING CRIED WHEN HE SCORED OMG WHAT A FUCKING FINISH!
not a bad prediction scot. what are the lotto numbers!?!
I loved how Ronaldo took it personally after his gaph.Fair play to him for the last 30 minutes.MACHEDAAAA!
INSTANT LEGEND!
tevez is a fucking legend…….Macheda….wat can u say wat a goal…a sledge hammer straight through the hearts of all dippers…..reminds me of the everton game a couple years ago
You know what!!! The fact that this blog entry was put up, the fact that macheda was even on the team sheet, the fact that we went down 2-1, the fact that SAF brought the lad on, the fact that we went into time added – EVERY SINGLE THING TELLS ME THIS WAS PURE FUCKING FATE!!! IT HAD TO HAPPEN!!!!
WOW. Great goal. This might mean that Tevez might be forced out. I would rather keep a Macheda, Tevez, and Rooney partnership. But I think that there is no way that SAF would keep Tevez over Berva. Macheda has amazing pace.
KIKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
What i loved about Macheda was his bravado and that he took no shit.And he is 17!
A scouce friend called us lucky!Look who’s talking!
By the way Scott, great pick up on noticing his name! Good bit of premonition mate, well done.
maybe Macheda is that striker that saf has never produced….but even if he isnt….if we win the league he’ll be remember as a legend
Cue the scousers!I want to hear their pain!
COME ON NOW! POST US A PIC OF HIM CELEBRATING! LETS RUB IT INTO SCOUSERS FACES!!!!!!
Piers Morgan u Gooner twat did u see dat???
Steve mc u Scouser cunt did u see dat???
This is what Manchester United is abt!!!
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…..
well fucking done scott, looks like you hit it right on the head
And he even kissed the camera!Steven Jailard’s celebration is annuled.
KIOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MACHEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Scott, you’re a fuckin genius… Macheda is the new ole.
I WANT A VIDEO OF THE LAST 10-15 MINS RIGHTNOW!!!!!! CAN’T WAIT FOR MOTD/SKY NEWS/SETANTA NEWS TODAY…I WILL WATCH THAT GOAL AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!
Also this is good news for Tuesday. Got confidence now, well be on a high after some tough losses and will be able to get some players back that should raise our quality on the pitch some too. I hope Macheda can play a role in the coming games ahead. We gotta push on from here and I think we absolutely well. Come on United!
Today IS THE DAY for Macheda!!!!
SAFs reaction was worth watching – he couldn’t fucking believe it…
and of course this how the trophies are won.
what a evening.
thank god it was Villa.
Absolutely brilliant!
f*ck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wahahahaha… I cant believe what has just happened!! this is the confidence booster we needed!! it’s all the way to the title now!
bring on Porto!!!!!!!!!!
Villa will never win at Old Trafford.As a Scouse friend said,we would have won even via a VDS goal kick.Now let’s hear some good news about Rio.
Wow
Fantastico Federico!
If he never scores another goal in his life, MACHEDA will still be a fucking legend. Wow. I was digging his passion even before the goal. And how brilliant when he went and celebrated with his mate/family member. And then that big lad was in tears!!! Gives me chills.
i actually cried whilst going bat shit insane when kiko scored, I havent done that since ole scored the winner against liverpool in the FA cup 10 years ago when I was 12.
Machedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
That is all
Porto in 2 days ?
no problem ) we will change half of the squad ))))
What a legend!!
fvcking hell!!!
the goal is here
http://videos.sapo.pt/SsldzMH3qHs1hg0rq05U
What a great winner!
sky +ed
and will never be takin off
unfuckin real
Drew I was thinking the same thing – that celebration made it so worth it…the sight of a kid going up to his family to celebrate his first goal for the biggest club in the world just made that sooo much more special!
in Martin Tyler’s words:” ANYTHING STEVEN GERRARD CAN DO, FREDERICO MACHEDA CAN TOO”
I’L ADD: ANYTHING GERRARD CAN DO, MACHEDA CAN DO BETTER
Interview with Macheda
Reporter:What instructions did Sir Alex give you before sending you on?
Macheda: Jus play, Jus play
Reportor: What was on your mind when you received the ball from Giggs?
Macheda: Score a goal, Score a goal, Score a goal
Reportor: Not many people have heard of you before, do you think it has changed today?
Macheda: Hope so
Reportor: You are our man of the match for scoring the winng goal, but I’m not sure its legal for you to drink yet, so I’ll give the Champagne to your captain, Neville
Macheda: -Takes it anyway-
~Legend in the making~
I also need to see SAF’s post match interview…Like someone said this might indicate the end of Tevez as well, but I for one hope that SAF will reward Tevez for the heart he showed today…just for today, I’ll sign him up…We have been champions so long because we build around a bunch of players with heart…and Tevez gives us just that…Standout performaces today: Tevez, Kiko…but above all, Darren Fletcher…
Hell yeah Mahesh….
82 minute, Carliots loses the ball and then busts his fucking guts out sprinting 3/4s the length of the pitch to track back and ends up sweeping up in our box….Right there, sign him up. Sign him the fuck up.
He looks great. No wonder United poached off Lazio youth system when he was just in his early teens.
scott is jesus..
Earlier in the morning, I was dismissing this post to be honest. No I’m wrong and you win again Scott.
TODAYS THE DAY…..:D
Drew – yep, that moment sticks out…I recall thinking “how the hell did carlitos manage to get back into our own box?”
Earlier in the morning, I was dismissing this post to be honest. Seeing how well executed his goal definitely gets my tongue wagging.
Everyone – It doesn’t matter to the player himself, but I just want to send a huuuge shout out to Darren Fletcher. For me, he is Man United personified…He might not be as talented as some of the other players, but he more than makes up for it with heart…
FUCKING STEVE MCMAN. SCOUSE FUCK THINKS FERGIE ISNT MANLY ENOUGH COZ HE GAVE AN INTERVIEW AFTER THIS WIN, AND DIDN’T AFTER THE FULHAM AND LIVERPOOL GAMES
@ Drew – couldn’t have made it clearer myself….
Anon- who the fuck cares about what steve mcmanaman thinks – he’s just a bitter dipper right now…and i honestly love the fact that losing pisses off our manager to the extent that it does…
Yep Mahesh, I’m with you again dude. In the 86th minute (I’ve watched the last ten mins again) Fletch made those two tackles on sheer effort alone, the second when YSB Barry took to long and Fletch made up the ground to block his clearance, and it lead directly to Ronaldo getting a shot of. Brilliant Fletch.
Boy did he deliver….what a cracking goal from the lad. Hopefully the first of many. I’m fucked after all that!
Who cares, we back on top!
Future’s looking bright!
Macheda, Welbeck, Possenbon, Gibson, Anderson, Rafael, Fabio, Evans, Foster
Thats the team for the next decade! Hell, even current stars, Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Nani are on the right side of 25
GAME, SET AND MACHEDA!
IT CERTAINLY WAS.
Macheda has probably just saved our season!
What a save from YSB Friedel on Welbecks chance….
And I like that Bruce!!!
I can’t stop talking about this!!!!
what a day… NEVER WRITE UNITED OFF!!! late drama, im dying… that simply has to give us that boost we needed! it’s great to read from so many united fans celebrating here, i luv it, just luv it!!!
@marq thx for the macheda interview, great!
note about tevez: do you guys really think fergie will make up his mind based on this game? scoring a late winner does not make macheda a regular starter next season. he shows lots of talent, but still has to learn alot. i like tevez’ performances but you have to say that he acts quite unluckily. as a striker he will be measured by his goals, and they are simply not (yet) flowing in. seeing him as a regular starter would certainly help him and i hope he gets his chances.
Also lads, just a note on Ronaldo – He’s had a below par season, but notice, he’s on top of the PL scoring charts…I don’t know if he’s stay next season, but I hope he’s got his loyalties straight and stays on…he showed some bollocks today just at the right times…
I hope I don’t break my DVR from watching this goal so many times….
Should probably be congatulating Ole rather than fucking Scott. Idiots.
@Drew – I’m green with envy right now – I NEED to watch the last 10 mins again. If anyone has the technical know-how to put the last 10 mins online here, I for one would really appreciate it…
Heart attack… United We Rule!
As Andy Gray said “A Star is born…” but we all knew that before we even found out he made the bench, right?
Mahesh Said “Standout performaces today: Tevez”
I personally though Tevez was awful today. While there is much to admire about his ‘Energizer bunny’ attitude its ineffective in those kinds of situations and has a negative impact on the rest of the team. He needs someone right up with him, not having someone like Giggs who ultimately ends up playing in midfield playing up with him (Rooney is the same imho although is slightly better suited as he is a little happier playing as an out and out striker). Tevez was so much better when Macheda came on (as was the whole team) which gave us a better balance, more edge and gave us more of an outlet
Just a few minutes after he came on and a Villa player took him down in the box and he got up and got into the player’s face I msgd my friend on MSN right then that I like this kid…he’s got passion.
And then he does that, even if he magically morphs into Daniel Nardiello levels of mediocrity I will love him. Amazing stuff
someone pls put last 15mins of the match. intense.
p.s. 20/1 for him to score last
thank you again son
Another pleasing thing about Macheda was the way he stood up to Barry ,after the fucking scouse vermin cunt picked him up of the floor.
KIKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I left for 45 minutes but i still can’t get the grin of my face.MACHEDAAAA!
By the way, he looks like Totti doesn’t he? Hope he becomes jus as good a player, haha. He’s got a good first touch, something Welbeck could learn from
OH FUCK ME!!!!!
Thought wed fuck up again. I said the other night that the Kid had gone way up in my estimation with the way he took his goals against newcastle.
MACHEDA!!!!!!!!
To watch someone like Forlan – a quality striker – struggle to get one goal for so long and then to see that kid score an amazing goal in front of his family… awesome!
Could only happen at Utd.
Plus Giggs new to give him the ball – you could tell he could make something happen by his movement. Did you see his movement off the ball? Excellent – made a lot more space and brought Tevez back into the game.
Tevez and Fletcher both unlucky not to get man of the match after excellent performances after internationals.
Apparently Rio went nuts down Alan Green’s microphone – has anyone got a copy I’d love to hear that!
First quote of man.utd.com:
“It’s not called the Theatre of Dreams for nothing.”
Damn right.Guys what did you think about Ronaldo’s appearance today?He looked like he didn’t have his usual spark in getting past defenders but after the 60th minuted he was brilliant.And i loved his reactions in the end.More of that Ronnie!
ridiculous. there are some scouser friend that think that when Macheda scored the goal it was the defender’s error.
We let them into our garden. Poor scousers, how dreamy and confident are they and how “happy” they will be at the end of the season.
too much confidence doesn’t help. thanks Fulham ))
Hell yeah Kings, I liked that too. He didn’t dive you prick, so get your scouse mits off him.
I agree Costas, it took 60 mins, but we finally saw some fire in Ronnie today. Hope that can spark him on for the run in. It ain’t over yet lads!!!!
@Marq
he was called the next totti in italy when united bought him
what an impact he had in the end
gotta hate tiny tears i thought that was Petrucci.
We played the final minutes with Macheda-Wellbeck partnership )
The title of the blog should change to Today’s the Day for Macheda!!!!!!!!
Danny could have been the hero as well.So unlucky.
yep costas – that was petrucci (the new totti)…but by the sounds of it, Petrucci is as quality, if not more, than Macheda…which sounds great for United’s future!
A Big Black Cloud Has Gathered Over Benefit City!
Any youtube links?
Wow! That is why we love this game!
Respect to Ronnie.. He sure made up for his cock up earlier.. That is why u need players like that..
By the way seeing Petrucci play in youth teams and reserves I will be shocked if he doesnt become a superstar in the next 2 years…
costa your right
sorry
Cid or anyone else who wants to see it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctiTtvcZ9Jo
It’s ok tiny tears.I couldn’t tell them apart either.Until today that is.MAcheda might never realise what he has done.I had never seen us in such a rut in 8 years.This might be a season turner.
what a great comeback, I was saying to myself it’s a mess which it was we cannot paper paper over the cracks, at times we were a disaster, but the reality is Ferguson has to relook at the attack of united, and say when next season comes around we don’t look toothless in attack next season. united have to win the league this year so united can reshape our attack because ronaldo tevez are not certain to stay, berbetov is not worth a cent of 30 million pounds and he may need to be moved on in the summer, nani seems to be getting worse and giggs is not getting any younger, park is not threatening enough on the wing and tosic is an unknown because he has not played enough games, so it’s a big summer for united to try and get players from other area’s who will give united more balance and penetration in attack so we look a more threatening outfit.
Was sat with my housemates and said that this boy would change the game round…
I’ll be honest, im not gonna let it go for a while.
then came on here and found that you had been singing his praises too, yet another great call Scott
micheal? cheer up man
Just though i would ask a wee question.
Does anyone think that the FSW would have the balls to send on a 17yrs old that has never played in the 1st team on for his debut in a mmatch as vital as that?
fucking get innnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Always have faith in our youth, Macheda played really well when he came on and scored a great goal to win it (im sure your all aware
) and Welbeck came on did ok and could of got a goal himself a few minutes before if it hadnt been for a great stop by brad YSB friedel. The future is looking very good indeed.
United top of the league United United top of the league
RedHaryy4Life united where 2 -1 down with the man of the moment and wellbeck up front
no way the fsw would have the balls to do that
I mean Macheda looks like Totti as in physical looks, his side view looks much like Totti.
Anyway, we ended the match with not 1, but 2 kids up front!
good shout on the lad macheda GET IN!
Kiko is not a player like Totti, Petrucci is. Kiko is more a poacher like RVN & his finishing is like RVN too.huge credit must go to 20LEGEND & his reserve staff.so many of the reserve players have made their debut this season & done well.
gotta hate tiny tears
Was on the floor yelling my fucking head off. Absolutely wonderful. The scouse bastards not have a youth system. Since The yellow submarine, what has come through their system? Sweet fuck all.
IMO Petrucci is a better player couple years younger but looks pure class.
Ravel Morrison local lad looks a real gem also but he is only 16. (maybe next years Champions league final wiiner form him )
THe FSW said it wasn’t personal. Fuck him it is.
God how I hate those scouse bastards
COME ON YE REDS.
I hope this win will bring a smile in our players and staff and make their mood relax. They all looked down after the second villa goal. Macheda!!!He has fire in his blood!!!A true RED DEVIL!!!! And oh, someone please tell me what the fuck is going on with Carrick? he is playing like shit!!!
“Macheda” a name so good it sounds like Manchester.
Tevez has a lion’s heart.
@ Drew Vader: Carlitos is a warrior, did u see when he dive dangerously low to recover a ball he lost possesion of. I say we keep Tevez and axe Berbs to City for serious quid
The pro-Tevez bias here is getting ridiculous. To quote my friend Dan:
Lets see, £32mil for a striker that tackles with his head? or kiko macheda scores goals for free, hmmm
Tony Starks
yes I know but we have some tough games coming up and we cannot play like that, the attack for me has to be reassessed in the summer because there is that lack of invention in the attack, like another winger because nani is not getting any better and tosic has hardly been giving a game and park lacks quality that makes him an ok winger. the striker situation must be looked at because united can still do better then berbetov and tevez at times. I still believe we could sell berbetov for a good price and get a striker who is threatening inside the box.

Here’s a song for your daughter, courtesy of ReddevilEddy (we lot camp at redrants)

Kiko, Kiko! Because, Kiko!
Not much in terms of lyrics, but very easy to catch

marceda is still learning his trade dont now say he should play every week, tevez only came back friday so it was no suprise he did not score.
The cat is out of the bag, and i guess it is now ok to criticize bervatov. He is simply not the right fit for the squad. Great player in his own right, but not the type of forward we need.
So Scott, tomorrows lottery numbers? what do you say?
NicoQB and ReddevilEddy
shes asleep now but it will be done tomorrow
Thank the lord(sir Alex) the day young Macheda took to the field and made his impact felt with an injury time winner against silly villa cant wait to see him come on again because i am sure he will light the stage once more because with a winner like that he deserves another shot this season to show its not a flash in the pan but indeed just a glimpse of what he can do for the World Champions
Glory Glory Man United!!!
and well done Kiko…..
@ Gotta hate tiny tears:
You’re actually going to do it! haha, that’s great! I’ll be waiting for it!
Dear diary
Today i fell in love with a 17 year old italian football player
The final piece in the jigsaw was Macheda and not Berbatov.He was amazing yesterday and the best thing is he is an out and out striker which we needed desperately.I really hope that he plays a big part for us in upcoming games.
And as for Tevez i really give a bow to his attitude and will to play for united.After coming from Argentina just 2 days before he was up and running for us covering every inch of grass.Just loved the passion when he covered 3/4th length of the ground to get the ball back to us.SIGN HIM UP NOW.
It was really great to see ronaldo pumped up and showing the burning desire to play for us.It will really be shit if he leaves us for Madrid.
