NOVARA, Italy -- The black Range Rover, with British number plates and a baby seat in the back, swings into a car park in the centre of Novara, a town of 105,000 in the shadow of the snow-capped Alps. The car belongs to Federico Macheda, centre-forward for the town's second-tier football team.
It has been eight years since Macheda was responsible for one of the most dramatic moments in Manchester United history, a late winner on his debut as a 17-year-old.
