OT’s got a new hero
Here’s a bit of info on the new hero. While die-hard United fans would know about him, the rest of us here in Asia knew about his hattrick against Newcastle’s reserves a few days ago, since it was featured on Sportscenter Asia.
Federico Macheda
Name: Federico ‘Kiko’ Macheda
Nationality: Italian
Date of Birth: 22 Aug 1991
Position: Striker
Squad Number: 41
Previous club: Lazio
Signed: September 1st, 2007
Wage: €80,000 per year
Debut: vs Porto (Champions League)
Tutor: Ole Gunnar Solksjaer
Well that last bit of info caught my attention. There were many things which were Solksjaer like about not only the subtitute appeareance, last minute goal, but also the enthusiasm of the boy before his goal. And Solksjaer still looks like the baby-faced assasin. So there!
He’s paid 80k a year? so that computes to 1.5k a week. Disgusting!
hope he is not one of those 1-day heroes like many other youngsters who will eventually land up in lower division teams…was hoping to see him partner rooney in attack last night, unfortunately not happened…
