deja vu

Man United player comes on as a substitute and then scores equalising or winning goal.

Now, where have I heard that before ? That used to be the modus operandi of one Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, otherwise known as the "Baby-Faced Assassin". Or as he is frequently described, "Manchester United's greatest ever substitute". Best remembered for his injury time, Champions League final-winning goal against Bayern Munich in the 98/99 season, Ole is now the coach of Manchester United's reserve team.

Fast foward to the present.

Man United player comes on as a substitute and scores winning goal within 1 minute - with his first touch. Federico Macheda has repeated his trick of last week and once again scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute.

Not bad for a player who until last week had never even been named as a substitute for the senior team. Pretty sensational when you consider that he's only 17, and is playing for arguably the world's most popular football club.

Solskjaer is Macheda's coach in the reserve team. Macheda has learned well from the master.
