Federico Macheda

As we are playing Rotherham, City have put up past goals against them on social media - one of which was Macheda's goal in 2015.

What are peoples memories of Macheda?

I thought he was class for us and was gutted when he left but then I looked at his stats and he got 8 goals in 31 appearances. Only appeared 8 times in his second season and then went on loan.

I think I may be remembering him differently than how he actually was :?:

He simply wasn't that good.

Scored a wonder or very important goal as a united kid if I remember and did nothing after. Had a decent career from that as one team after another thought they'd get that bit of magic out.

We have preloaded stereotype of what a top 6 kid will be like, but they are expensive and rarely deliver after the initial euphoria.

Had Solenke did anything in his career to suggest 19mill, Brewster £24 million :o Ojo !!!!!!!

At least we didn't pay anything for him but i reckon his wages would have been decent and every season after us

Awful player.

Got the odd goal but was very lazy.

As said above, he was living off a late winner for Man Utd when he was a kid.

He went to Forest on loan and their fans thought he was lazy.

Went no where with us but did score a couple of good goals of one of them is mention above against Rotherham.

One of the reasons Fergienlet him go was because he was lazy and expected 1st team football at Utd. Yet another waste of talent
