United retains Top spot after Macheda once again fires....

Macheda once again rescued Manchester United for the second successive league game as his goal sent the champions back to the top of the Premier League. Paul Scholes scored the first one for United and with still 15 minutes left substitute Macheda turned in Michael Carrick's wayward shot nearly his first touch. United is now one point lead over their nearest rival Liverpool. With the Champions League quarter-final second-leg tie against Porto on Wednesday, United coach Sir Alex Ferguson rested keeper Edwin Van der Sar, left-back Patrice Evra and winger Cristiano Ronaldo.Rooney started out in the left with Tevez partnering Berbatov up front which was very difficult for the opposition.Macheda, who made the required impact just seconds after coming on by redirecting Michael Carrick's wayward shot into the corner of the net with a deft left-foot flick.
