United turbo charged: Macheda goal gives champions new belief
Only now is it clear just how significant a goal Federico Macheda scored on Sunday afternoon. [LNB]It did more than simply revive a team. More than simply lift Manchester United back to the top of the Barclays Premier League. [LNB]It motivated the motivator and restored Sir Alex Ferguson's belief in a side that even he must have feared was starting to struggle under the burden of their own ambition. [LNB] United front? Ronaldo looks askance at his manager as Fergie describes the fresh sense of purpose instilled by the dramatic win over Villa.[LNB]When Cristiano Ronaldo was asked to compare this season to the previous one as he sat alongside Ferguson yesterday, he said something fascinating. 'Last season it was more natural; this season more difficult.' [LNB]It looked difficult against Aston Villa and difficult against Fulham and Liverpool prior to that. So difficult, in fact, Ferguson almost seemed resigned to a third successive League defeat when Gabriel Agbonlahor struck in the 58th minute to give Villa a 2-1 lead. As much was evident in the expression on his face. [LNB]But first came the equaliser from Ronaldo and then that magical winner, and at Old Trafford yesterday the adrenaline was still pumping through Ferguson's veins.
