A FORMER Manchester United star has joined his 12th different club.
The 31-year-old has signed for Apoel, who are second in the Cypriot first division.
The club are just one point behind league leaders AEK Larnaca.
The former Red Devils prodigy became a cult hero after netting two winning goals in his first two senior appearances in 2009.
The player is, of course, Federico Macheda.
He made 36 appearances for United, in which he managed to score five goals before signing for Cardiff City in 2014.

Macheda has also played for QPR, Doncaster, Birmingham and Nottingham Forest in England.
The striker has also had spells in Italy, Germany and Greece before joining Turkish side Ankaragucu last year.
However he failed to impress and has now been loaned to Apoel, where he will wear the No91 shirt, for the year of his birth.
The Cypriot side announced: “We have reached an agreement with Ankaragucu for the loan of Federico Macheda. It is valid until May 2023.
