Where does the time go?

Itā€™s exactly 10 years to the day ā€“ a decade. A DECADE ā€“ since Federico Macheda announced himself to the world with one of Manchester Unitedā€™s most important ever goals.

United were drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa in 2009, in what was a crucial fixture in the last few weeks of the Premier League season.

Liverpool were on their coattails and any slip up would have handed the title advantage to Rafa Benitezā€™s men.

Sir Alex though, took a gamble, threw on the young Italian, and he produced this moment of pure genius to win them the game 3-2 and write his name into Old Trafford folklore.

United would go on to win the title. Macheda is still only 27.
