Rafael da Silva was subbed off on 79 minutes on Saturday to make way for Federico Macheda. Sir Alex Ferguson’s attacking substitution paid off two minutes later when Kiko played in Nani to put us 2-1 up.
Rafael then proceeded to celebrate like a fan, going absolutely mental when the ball hit the back of the net. It really is great to see our youngsters, particularly those not even from England, becoming so involved with the club.
