United were drawing 2-2 with Aston Villa in 2009, in what was a crucial fixture in the last few weeks of the Premier League season.

Liverpool were on their coattails and any slip up would have handed the title advantage to Rafa Benitez’s men.

Sir Alex though, took a gamble, threw on the young Italian, and he produced this moment of pure genius to win them the game 3-2 and write his name into Old Trafford folklore.

10 years to the day since ‘MACHEDAAA!’ 🤯 He’s still only 27, by the way.

United would go on to win the title. Macheda is still only 27.
