MOVE over Coleen ... for 18-year-old Sophie Houghton has become Manchester United's youngest WAG.

The scouse beauty has been dating footie wonderkid Federico Macheda, after the pair struck up a bond through social networking site Facebook.

Italian born Macheda gained national recognition when he scored his stunning injury-time winner on his debut against Aston Villa in April.

But the pitch is not the only place the 17-year-old has been scoring and managed to bag new WAG Sophie after a series of flirty emails.

Friends of the couple say that the Man United ace was instantly smitten when he saw Sophie's stunning profile picture on her Facebook page and didn't waste any time in adding her as a 'friend'.

And after a sucession of cyber 'pokes' the Red's striker eventually plucked up the courage to ask Wirral-born Sophie on a date, after swapping mobile numbers in a message.

Since then gorgeous pair have been on a string of sizzling dates and pals of the couple say they are both having fun hanging out together.

Beauty Queen Sophie- the reigning Miss Intercontinental Liverpool 2009- is currently being touted for TV roles, after she spent six months on school drama Waterloo Road.

While Macheda nicknamed "Kiko" has quickly moved up the ranks at United. Not only having a goalscoring run in the youth team but has now become a regular in the reserves team.

But model Sophie knows that her new hot shot man could soon be big demand from man-eating wag wannabes and has warned him not that he will only get one chance with her.

The beauty states on her Myspace page: "I like a boy in a football kit, I think it's very sexy.

"But I'm the sort of girl who only gives boys one chance.

"If you do something to hurt me, that's it.

"Or if you drop me, don't expect me to come back... coz I really won't"

A close pal said: "It started about four months ago when Federico saw Sophie's Facebook picture.

"He thought she was drop-dead gorgeous and requested her as a friend straight away.

"Sophie couldn't believe it when Federico started messaging her.

"He was tall, dark and handsome. Definately what she looks for in a man.

"He was so sweet in his messages, he came across really shy and it was ages before he had the courage to ask her out.

"But when he did, they got really well and had that instant chemistry.

"They both know it's early days but they are really having fun together at the moment."
