Macheda who?

I watch the Manchester United vs Aston Villa match that was shown on TV recently. Somehow I missed the part when Sir Alex Ferguson substituted the ineffective Nani with this unknown player. Therefore when I noticed this player leading the United attack, I thought who was this guy? The name on the back of his shirt said he is Macheda. Macheda who? I have never heard about him before! When did he come in? Here was this unknown playing like a veteran and I didn't know him! When he scored, turning a defender for dead and swerving the ball round the goalkeeper into the net in one move. Wow! I wondered even more. Who is this sensation? Only the next day when I read the papers did I knew a little bit about him......what a shocked! He's Italian. He's only seventeen years old. The funny thing is, even his own captain admitted to not having seen him before. No wonder I said, Macheda who?
