Miguel Pérez Cuesta (born 21 March 1986), known as Michu (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmitʃu]), is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Oviedo as a forward or attacking midfielder.
He started playing for Real Oviedo, subsequently representing Celta de Vigo and Rayo Vallecano, making his La Liga debut with the latter in 2011–12. In 2012 he signed with Swansea City, scoring 22 goals across all competitions in his first season and winning the League Cup.
Despite performances which earned him an international debut for Spain in 2013, Michu fell out of favour at Swansea and was released in November 2015.
Michu was born in Oviedo, Asturias. After beginning with local Real Oviedo in the lower leagues, he moved to Celta de Vigo B in Segunda División B in the 2007 summer; midway through his first season he received his maiden first-team callup, finishing the season in the starting XI of the Segunda División side.
In mid-January 2010, a transfer to La Liga with Sporting de Gijón in order to replace Birmingham City-bound Míchel was almost arranged, but it eventually fell through and Michu stayed at Celta. In his last two second level campaigns combined, he scored 12 goals for the Galicians.
