Video, match report and picture gallery: FC Seoul 2-3 Manchester United

Federico Macheda showed why Sir Alex Ferguson compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo as Manchester United continued their winning run in the Far East.

Fergie has high hopes for Macheda, the 17-year-old who made a big impact last season with late winners against Aston Villa and Sunderland which helped clinch United the title.

And the tall, athletic striker with the same build as Ronaldo scored a stunning goal to show why Fergie backed him to have a similar impact as the Reds' former No.7.

"The goal Macheda scored was excellent," said Fergie. "The lad has a real chance this season and his movement is very good.

"He does really well on the shoulder of the last defender, as he showed with the goal he scored.

"Macheda's top-drawer, a hero in the making, just as Ronaldo was. He's quick around the box and has an eye for goal.

"He was way in front of everyone with his finishing in training the other day - and it was magnificent to see."

United went behind when a mix-up between Wes Brown and John O'Shea allowed Seoul to take the lead.

O'Shea atoned by setting up Rooney for the equaliser, the ball going in off the striker's shoulder.

Seoul regained the lead just before half-time but United drew level again, Rooney playing a sublime ball through to Macheda, who rounded the keeper before steering his shot into the net.

And United scored the winner when substitute Darron Gibson crossed for Dimitar Berbatov to head in at the near post.

United flew to China straight after last night's game, ahead of tomorrow's final match on the Far East leg of their tour.

Man Utd (4-4-2):

Man Utd Ratings v FC Seoul

from David McDonnell in Seoul

Kuszczak: Made two good saves early on, handling well, but powerless to stop opener. 5

O'Shea; Woeful defending with Brown for Seoul's opener with both guilty of dithering. Crossed for Rooney's goal. 6

Ferdinand: The only United defender who had a decent game. Unflappable and always calm under pressure. 7

Brown: Culpable for Seoul's first goal along and looked hesitant thereafter. Still finding his way back after long injury-lay-off. 5

Evra: Guilty of letting his man go for Seoul's second goal. Put opponent out of game with hard - but fair - tackle. 5

Fletcher: Worked hard in his 45-minute run-out but offered little in the way of creation. 5

Carrick: Neat and tidy in possession but no evidence of his trademark long-range balls to set up attacks. 6

Giggs: Proved his enduring class with some clever balls into the front two, playing just in behind them. 7

Anderson: This is a big season for the Brazilian midfielder but again he made little in the way of an impact. 5

Macheda: Worked tirelessly and deserved his goal, for which he showed impressive composure with an assured finish. 7

Rooney: Got United level with an attempted header which came off his shoulder. Superb ball for Macheda's goal. 7

SUBS:

Van der Sar for Kuszczak (46mins): Largely untroubled during his 45-minute run-out. 6

Gibson for Fletcher (46mins): Crossed for Berbatov to head United's third goal. 7

Scholes for Giggs (59mins): Wowed the crowd with some trademark long crossfield balls. 6

Berbatov for Macheda (60mins): Headed United in front five minutes after coming on. 7

Owen for Rooney (60mins): Lively again but couldn't make it three goals in as many games. 6

Nani for Anderson (60mins): Saw enough of the ball but did little with it. 5

Fabio for Evra (74mins): Looked impressive going forward and disciplined in defence. 6

Park for Carrick (74mins): Sent the fans into delirium when he came on and whenever in possession. 6
