It's a decade since Federico Macheda last pulled on a Manchester United shirt, but returning to Old Trafford will always be special for the Italian.

His debut is still remembered to this day and will be for many years to come. On his first senior appearance, a young Macheda tucked home a delightful stoppage time winner at home to Aston Villa - with United coming from two-one down to win 3-2.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men went on to lift the Premier League title that season. Macheda did not go on to forge the career many hoped for at United, with the striker making 35 appearances in total before signing for Cardiff City on a free transfer in 2014.

But the forward - who now plays for Turkish side Ankaragücü - remains a popular figure among the fan base and his love for the club will always be there.
