I took it lightly: ‘Now I’m going to loan, I’ll prove myself and come back here’ “

“I chose to go home, to my country, and sign a contract with Sampdoria. I reject other goals.”

“I have never seen a 19 year old player who can save a club. My choice was wrong and Sir Alex was right,” he explained.

After Sampdoria, Macheda was loaned back by MU to several teams such as QPR, VFB Stuttgart, Doncaster and Bermingham. He was then released on a free transfer to Cardiff City in 2014. Had a chance to go to Novara, Macheda, who is now 29 years old, defended Panathinaikos.
