Two crucial goals in two crucial games. The Magic of Macheda has kept Manchester United’s title dreams alive.
The 17 year old made his debut with a stunning injury time goal against Aston Villa last week and the former Lazio youth academy player has done it again.
United travelled away to Sunderland expecting an easy 3 points and the first 20 minutes of the game looked that way.
Paul Scholes capped a dominant start by heading the Red Devils into the lead at the 19th minute.
Rooney cut inside on to his right foot to deliver the perfect cross for the unmarked Scholes to glance a pin point header past the stranded Craig Gordon and into the top corner.
Sunderland managed to equalise on the 55th minute. Kenwyne Jones poked the ball into the back of an empty net after Foster made a blunder of a mistake failing to claim Teemu Tainio’s cross.
Macheda was the hero for United once again. The 17 year old had been on the pitch for just seconds when he steered Carrick’s shot past helpless Sunderland keeper Gordon in the 76th minute.

Liverpool have had their fair share of mediocre performances that have produced wins during the early stages of the season Sambo and if you want to talk about relying on players where would Liverpool be without Gerrard! And Rellum Lazio only showed an interest in keeping Macheda once they knew Manchester United were trying to sign him.
