Kiko Machedo: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Prodigy

It may seem rather early in his career to be calling him a messiah or the worlds best prospect (which many newspapers and other media sources are suggesting), but young Kiko Macheda has the ability to play at the top for a long time.

Unlike most, I have been following his career through the academy and mainly the reserve team through MUTV. I have watched him develop into the player he is now, which is far from the finished article.

This progress he has made I believe is due to one thing—Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

In his last three matches (two in the first team and one for the reserves), he has scored five goals. Apart from one easy penalty kick, all of them required some of that Solskjaer magic. He has been fed in but, like Ole used to do, Frederico still needed to make space—each time he with a simple touch to create the space before rifling the ball in the net.

With Solskjaer being the lad's coach, you can only see him improving into a world class striker. All United fans hope he is as important as "the baby-faced assassin" himself.

But we must be careful. Look at Welbeck—he scored a fantastic goal against Derby County and everyone thought, "Here's another Fergie wonder-kid!"

He has since disappointed. Shame.

He may only be 17-years-old, but Kiko can be a world beater!
