Summary
The scorer of one of the most iconic Premier League goals in Manchester United history, Federico Macheda joined the UTD Podcast from Greece where he is currently playing for Panathinaikos.
Kiko talks us through the doubts he had moving to Old Trafford at such a young age but how the staff and players at United made him feel welcome. He revealed the moment where Sir Alex Ferguson approached him in the Carrington gym to say he had a chance of playing against Aston Villa that weekend.
And of course we heard about that goal - the last minute winner against Aston Villa on his Manchester United debut.
Maysie and Helen also read out your emails at the end of the episode. If you'd like to write to the only official Manchester United Podcast then e-mail utdpodcast@manutd.co.uk
