Tag: Macheda

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.

The agent of the Italian striker Federico Macheda has said that his client is likely to leave Manchester United in the January transfer window after growing frustrated about the lack of first-team opportunities in the club. The 20-year-old Italian striker made his debut for the club in the most stunning manner after scoring his debut at the club win the match against Aston Villa 3-2. However, he has lost his way since then and has not been part of the first team under Sir Alex Ferguson. The manager has sent him off on loan deals to various clubs in the last two years, but that has not been any different from his situation at Old Trafford.

Rather than move once again on loan deal this season, the striker decided to stay at Old Trafford and fight for his opportunities. The arrival of Robin van Persie from Arsenal for £ 24 million changed the situation. His arrival has meant that Sir Alex Ferguson has four strikers at his disposal apart from Federico Macheda. This has seen him get very little opportunities to even get on the first-team bench. He did not even start the league cup match a few weeks back.

“How can he be decisive for the team if he never plays?. Manchester United have some phenomenal players in attack, so it is truly difficult for Federico to find space. It’s not true what they write in the English papers that he’s going through a bad spell. He wants to play and if he cannot do so by January then we’ll try to find an alternative solution. I will talk to Sir Alex Ferguson over the next few days,” said the agent of the player. He only has a few years left on his contract and is expected to move in the January transfer window.

Manchester United has signed the Chilean youngster Angelo Henriquez.  Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager of Manchester United, has confirmed the signing of Henriquez. Ferguson said that Henriquez has become 18 years old now. So, he has got working permit which makes him eligible to sign for the club. He is a very talented young footballer. He is enormously capable at such a young age. He has shown his skills playing for Universidad de Chile and he is a very good buy for the club.

Ferguson has also made it clear that Henriquez is the last player to be bought by the club this summer. Ferguson said that he is quite satisfied with the players that he has had and he is not going to sign any more player this summer. United has signed five players since the opening of the transfer window. Those five players are Alexander Buttner, Robin Van Persie, Shinji Kagawa, Nick Powell and Angelo Henriquez. Buttner has been signed by the club this week and Ferguson hinted that he might get a chance to play in the United’s second game of the season against Fulham.  As per Ferguson, Buttner has looked in good nick in the training sessions and he might be sent on to the field at some point of time in the match against Fulham.

Manchester United hasn’t made a very good start to the season and the team lost its opening match against Everton by 1-0. On being asked about that match, Ferguson said that he is very disappointed with the team’s performance in that match. The team should have easily won that match, but, the players looked rusty and didn’t show enough hunger on the field. On being asked about the club’s new signing Robin Van Persie, Ferguson said that Persie went on to the field pretty late in that match and it is not easy to go on to the field and score straight  away. Ferguson hinted that Persie would be a part of the first XI in the match against Fulham.
