FEDERICO MACHEDA FANS

Federico Macheda joined Doncaster Rovers in September on a 1 month loan deal but a hamstring injury saw him making a return to Manchester Unite earlier than expected although despite the short time that he played for Rovers, he still managed to score 3 goals in 5 matches.

After completing the recovery from his hamstring injury, Macheda joined Doncaster Rovers on another loan deal but this time until the end of December. The 22 years old Italian player has already said however that it is very likely he leaves Manchester United and his future will probably be outside of the Premier League club.

Macheda said he will likely have to leave United on permanent basis to further his career and suggested a return to his native Italy as the most likely destination.

“I have not had the opportunity to talk about my place at United, but I have not once been selected this year and I think my future will be far from Manchester”, he said.

“I need to find continuity until January. Then in January, we will see.
“Let’s see how it goes this year, and then I might as well go back to Italy.”

Macheda made an explosive debut with Manchester United back in 2009 when he scored an outstanding goal at the 93rd minute when the club was still under the control of Sir. Alex Ferguson and they were struggling in their match against Aston Villa but Macheda scored the winning goal in the last few seconds.

Since signing for Manchester United in 2008, Macheda has made 19 appearances and all of them coming from the bench. His lack of playing time with the club is the main reason why he wants to make a permanent move away from the champions of the Premier League.

There was recently disappointment for Doncaster Rovers and Federico Macheda after the Manchester United striker, who have been on loan the Championship club, suffered an injury just weeks into his loan spell at the club. Doncaster had put a lot of faith in Macheda being fit until at least January in order to tide over their striker crisis. As a result of the injury, the 22-year-old Italian has returned to United in order to undergo treatment. Doncaster manager Paul Dickov, though, has said that he is keen on resurrecting the deal if the striker manages to get fit before January.

Macheda was initially set for a month-long stay at Doncaster, but it was cut short due to the hamstring injury. It is thought that he has impressed everyone at Doncaster sufficiently enough to warrant a second chance. Macheda has not been lucky when it comes to his loan spells because he has been unable to get regular game time for one reason or the other. In some of the loans spells, the manager who had brought him to the club would sacked or he would not settle at the club to show good form.

Doncaster recently managed a 4-0 win over Middlesbrough, but Dickov does not appear to be satisfied and wants to improve the squad even further.

“Kiko is getting closer to being fit again and although I have not spoken to United for a few weeks, I will be on the phone soon to see if we can get him back here as he was a big plus to the side with his eye for goal. I am always looking at how I can strengthen the side and this week I have been away a few days looking at players. If I see again what I saw on Friday night, I will look to bring in other players to play instead,” said Dickov.

Manchester United striker Federico Macheda is all set to leave the club at the end of the season as a free transfer. The striker is out of contract in 12 months time and his agent has revealed that there has been no offer of a new deal from United. The striker made his debut for the club as a teenager. His debut came in the most impressive fashion, as he managed to rescue United from a 2-0 scoreline to win the match 3-2 in the Premier league. He was expected to become one of the first-team regulars at United, but the subsequent years have been on the downhill for the player.

He has spent the last few seasons on loan at various clubs and the various leagues. However, none of the loan spells have actually helped him to get regular first-team football. Former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted towards the end of last season that the next loan move could be make or break for the player. Now, it appears that United unwilling to let him leave on a free transfer. Macheda’s agent, Giovanni Bia has said that his client will be playing for United this season before leaving on a free transfer in the summer.

“Unfortunately, there is no news [about a new contract]. The assessment that Manchester [United] have made is not one in line with a player whose contract is coming to an end. This year he will play in Manchester, seeing out his contract with the Red Devils and then he will be free to leave,” said Bia. During his four years at the club as a first-team player, Macheda has made 19 appearances for the first team. He has four goals from these matches. He has recently been linked with a loan move to Doncaster United.
