Federico Macheda loaned to Sampdoria
Italian club Sampdoria have confirmed loan acquisition of Manchester United youngster Federico Macheda.
The striker was being sought by many Premier League sides after Sir Alex Ferguson announced that he would be available on loan. However, the manager’s reluctance to send the promising young talent to Premier League rivals, as well as Macheda’s own desire
to move back to Italy, has resulted in a move to the Serie A club.
Sampdoria have acquired Macheda in a five-month deal that will see the Italian stay with the Serie A side for the remainder of the current season. Macheda was brought in to replace http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Cassano-c6302, who has recently been transferred to AC Milan.
Speaking on the Manchester United striker’s move to Italy, Sampdoria president Riccardo Garrone said, “I am very happy that Macheda has chosen Sampdoria and I think it's the same for the fans. Macheda has easily filled the void left by Cassano, he will definitely
do well. In these five months we will try to treat him well. With him here, the enthusiasm has increased tenfold.”
Macheda became an instant hero for Manchester United when he scored the winning goal against Aston Villa after coming off the bench in 2008-09 season. Near the end of that campaign, he scored another decisive goal for the Red Devils, keeping them on track
for their 18th Barclays Premier League title. His goals were absolutely vital in United’s successful title retention of the 2008-09 campaign.
Manchester United’s title rivals will be glad to see the back of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Federico-Macheda-c13475. The striker has an uncanny ability to produce match-winning goals for the Red Devils. In sixteen appearances, the Italian has scored four goals for Manchester United. All
of those goals have had a significant impact on the destination of the Barclays Premier League crown.
Sampdoria currently sit in eighth position in the Serie A table. Perhaps Federico Macheda might just provide them with the spark they need as they push forwards in search of a Champions League position.
