Agent confirms Federico Macheda wants to stay with Manchester United; Shane Ferguson signs new deal
Macheda wants United stay: agent
The agent of Manchester United striker, Federico Macheda, has revealed that his client will return to Old Trafford after a disappointing loan spell with the Italian side, Sampdoria.
Macheda joined Sampdoria on-loan in the January transfer window but failed to score in his 14 league appearances for the Blucerchiati, who eventually got relegated from the Serie A.
The Italian under-21 star’s Old Trafford future remains under dark clouds, as the manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is believed to have lost his faith in the striker. Ferguson did not mention his name when he was talking about the loanees, who will return to the
club after the season. However, the player’s agent has confirmed that he will hold talks with the United manager about his client’s future after the UEFA Champions League final.
The agent said, "There is a 90 per cent chance http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Federico-Macheda-c13475 will remain with Manchester United. After Saturday’s Champions League final, I will speak to Sir Alex Ferguson, but there is a 90 per cent chance Macheda will remain with Manchester United."
The 19-year-old has scored some crucial goals for the Red Devils in the past, especially the goal he scored on his debut against Aston Villa that led United to Premier League title victory in the 2009/10 season.
It is highly expected that Ferguson might loan him to another Italian side for one more season.
Ferguson pens new deal
Newcastle United full-back, Shane Ferguson, has signed a five-year extension to his existing contract with the Magpies.
The 19-year-old left-back had a breakthrough season with the club and went on to make 7 league appearances. Ferguson is delighted to commit his future at the club and has thanked the fans and his teammates for their support.
Ferguson said, "I've enjoyed this season and the new contract has just been the icing on the cake. The support I've had from the fans since making my debut means a lot."
With the club’s first choice left-back, Jose Enrique, almost certain to leave St. James’s Park in the summer transfer market, Ferguson is tipped as an ideal replacement for the Spaniard.
