FEDERICO MACHEDA FANS

Manchester United striker Federico Macheda, who is currently on loan at German club Stuttgart, has said that he does not expect star striker Wayne Rooney to be sold in the summer. There is a lot of speculation surrounding the future of Rooney, who has found himself down the pecking order in recent months. Rooney started the season behind Robin van Persie, who was a £ 20 million signing from Arsenal. The injury problems coupled with the overweight issues at the start of the season did not help the England international. Since then, he has found regaining the first-team spot extremely tough.

Van Persie has emerged as the main striker at Old Trafford. He has scored 23 goals in the league alone this season and he is the overwhelming favourite to win the Golden Boot award. Rooney continues to be linked with a move to French club PSG. The PSG owners and the director of football have been speaking a lot about Rooney in recent months. They see him as the perfect signing to improve the profile of the club substantially. PSG have almost bottomless pits of money and they have shelled out huge sums of it in the last few transfer windows to bring in the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

“No, I do not think so. He is an emblem of Manchester United and I think there is no better team in the world than that in which he is playing right now,” said the Italian international. Rooney managed to score 19 goals for United last season, but he has managed only 16 this time around. Macheda, meanwhile, has expressed his desire to stay at Stuttgart beyond the end of the season. He has said that he is willing to talk with Manchester United about extending the loan deal for next season as well.

The Manchester United striker Federico Macheda has been very little first-team action in recent years. The player has admitted recently that he would be happy to go out on loan even if it is for short-term because it would allow him to play on a regular basis. The striker has found it difficult to break into the first team that contains the likes of Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, and Javier Hernandez. This intense competition means that Macheda has been unable to start even a single Premier league match this season. The player has been linked with a loan move to clubs in Germany or Spain.

The Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has not been traditionally afraid to send players out on loan deals. Macheda himself has spent loan spells at Sampdoria and QPR, but both have been unproductive for the player because he once again spent a majority of the season on the sidelines. His agent has clearly revealed that his client will be moving to a club where he will believe that first-team opportunities will come on a regular basis. Macheda has revealed that he may have made some mistakes in the past, but is extremely keen to rectify them and be an important player for United in the future.

“I had very bad luck with the loans but I think it helped me a lot. I think it helped me to gain experience in general. If I go out again on loan, I’m sure I will do well. I have been away two times already and, if it happens again. I’d look forward to getting playing time because maybe I made some mistakes but now I understand. I will take the chances I will have,” said Macheda on the official website of Manchester United. A decision is expected to be announced soon.

It seems that the Manchester United striker Federico Macheda will not be moving to another club in the English football during the month of January. The 21-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford at least on a short-term basis in order to revive his year. He has barely featured for the first team at Manchester United, despite making one of the stunning announcements into the first-team more than three years ago. He scored on his debut for United to send them on their way to a 3-2 win over Aston Villa.

However, he has struggled to score goals since then and has been sent on numerous loan spells to clubs like Sampdoria and QPR in the last few seasons. It has been little that this will be his last season at the club, as he struggles to establish himself and get regular game time. There have been suggestions of a move to a lower league club in the January transfer window, but the player has said that he will be favouring a move to either Portugal or Spain rather than play in England. His agent has also been supportive of the same by saying that Spain or Portugal will suit the player much better.

“Federico obviously wants to play more and also Manchester United agree to let him go. Blackpool and Hull City? No, he definitely won’t go to one of them. We’re talking with two or three clubs in Spain and Germany, which I don’t want to name,” said his agent Giovanni Bia in a recent interview. The player has scored only a handful of goals in the appearances he has made for United in the last three seasons. His two loan spells at Sampdoria and QPR were also extremely unproductive in terms of playing time.
