Federico Macheda has been loaned to Italian club Sampdoria after Antonio Cassano departure to Milan.

“Macheda has easily filled the void left by Cassano, he will definitely do well,” Garrone said.

“In these five months we will try to treat him well. With him here, the enthusiasm has increased tenfold.”

United manager Alex Ferguson said he would like to see Macheda gain more first-team experiance. And though many clubs in both Italy and England were interested in the 19 year-old former Lazio trainee, it was Sampdoria who secured the U21 Italian international.

I think this will be good for Macheda, he is not likely to get much playing time at United, since it seems that Hernandez has secured that “Super Sub” position.
