Back in action after 8-month injury, Davide Petrucci (the new "Totti") put up an impressive display in the 5-1 win of United U18 team against Bolton. Petrucci is continuing his solid comeback, this attacking midfielder/playmaker that United signed for 3 times more than Macheda from AS Roma where he was a top striker talent and, like Macheda, the whole family moved to Manchester and his father given a job at United's Carrington Grounds.
This is the first match with the other 2 Italian youngsters, Massacci and Fornasier playing as well. With Macheda, that makes 4 top Italian talents. Also impressing was frenchman Paul Pogba, captain of France U18 feam, who got a goal as well. As well as Fergie's "secret weapon" Ravel Morrison who helped facilitate 2 goals, yet another attacking midfielder/playmaker.
Fergie included Petrucci in United's Euro Cup team 30-man roster last January together with Macheda which shows you how highly he regards Petrucci. Unfortunately, Petrucci became injured the month after. else he would probably be sitting in the bench together with Macheda. A name to remember! As well as Morrison...
