The club are just a point behind leaders AEK Larnaca.

The former Red Devils prodigy became a cult hero after scoring two game-winning goals in his first two senior games in 2009.

The player is, of course, Federico Macheda.

He made 36 appearances for the club, scoring five goals, before finally signing for Cardiff City in 2014.

Macheda has also played for QPR, Doncaster, Birmingham, Cardiff and Nottingham Forest in England.

He also had stints in Italy, Germany and Greece before joining Turkish club Ankaragucu last year.

However, he could not convince and has now been loaned to Apoel.

The Cypriot side announced the signing of the Rome-born forward with a statement that read: “We have reached an agreement with Ankaragucu on Federico Macheda’s loan. It runs until May 2023.
