i would give 8 out of ten to machada...he is showing matuarity at 18 which is good singnal for us...

He proved that he deserves to be in Manchester United first team line up.

He had a great game yesterday. Now, given we have already qualified for the next round, i'm sure that SAF will certainly retain his services for the next champions league match. European experience can only improve Macheda as a player. And same goes for all our young guns.

Macheda might as well start the Chelski game on the bench.

He played very well and were unlucky not to get goal. His movement is still poor( if you compare to Rooney, berbatov,owen), but his ball control pace has improved a lot since last season.

His movement of the ball was very good.......with more experience of regular 1st team football will he be one of our better players in future.

 At his age he's better than benzema,If he progresses like this, in three seasons time he'll be competing for ballon d'or! take my word,

I dont think he was brilliant tonite. While he did show flashes of brilliance he and there, his overall game was only ok to me. He disappeared for large portions of the game and that his a huge problem for a striker. He has lots of talent and he will be huge for us in the future. I cant wait to see this kid in 2-3 years when hes got more 1st team action under his belt. He will be unstoppable.

i thoughthe did okay.

but he still have a lot to improve on.

the 3rd goal was his fault

 I WAS JUST ABOUT TO WRITE A POST ON THAT. THE LAD WAS ONE OF THE BETTER PLAYERS ON THE NIGHT, SHOWED BITS OF HIS SKILLS IN THE 1ST HALF, ALONG WITH THAT DEFENSE FOOLING TURN AT THE EDGE OF THE 18 YARD. HE IS GONNA BE SOMETHING SPECIAL. I FELT HE DESERVED A GOAL THOUG, HE TOOK HIS HEADER WELL, A PITY IT WENT AGAINST THE POST. HE PLAYED MUCH BETTER THAN NANI, NANI NEEDS TO BE PUT IN THE RESERVES LIKE WHAT FERGIE DID WITH ANDERSON. ANDERSON CAME BACK FROM THE RESERVES AFTER STANDING OUT WITH SCORING HIS FIRST GOAL FOR UNITED. I ALSO THINK CARRICK SHOULD BE PUT IN THE RESERVES. BUT MACHEDA WAS BRILLIANT TONIGHT, FERGIE, TIE HIM WITH A 10 YEAR CONTRACT ASAP!!

 I was really impressed with him. Was the best I've seen him play yet, and he was just unlucky not to get on the score sheet. He has "star" written all over him.

 I thought Macheda look like he was tiring early in the game, I have heard he is a smoker not sure if its true if it is then the boy needs to cut it out.

hahaha!!

Ah, Macheda played alright, he got in some powerfuland threatening attempts at goal and was always running back to defend. He just needs to keep his eye on the ball asit costed us the 3rd goal, but other than that the header attempt was brilliant play.

He shows some nice skills and he was unlucky, 1 shot saved by Aknifeev, 1 shot went and it was very near, and his header was wonderful.

 He is better then Wellbeck and we can depend on him if there is any injury.

 I'm shocked at how well he did out on the wing.

I saw a very mature player, very unselfish, good linking and even when he moved to be a left winger, he played very well.

Just he need more experience of how to defend better as the third goal for the Russians was due to a joint mistake from Macheda and FDS.

If he is given more time, he will be our version of F Inzachi
