Macheda Going Nowhere

Federico Macheda's agent does not believe there is any chance of Manchester United letting the young striker leave in the summer.

Macheda was expected to go from strength to strength this season after making a stunning impact in a couple of crucial games in 2008/9.

However, his progress has been hampered by injuries and opportunities have been limited.

Bologna were interested in taking the 18-year-old on loan in January but a switch failed to materialise.

Speculation has now resurfaced about a possible move at the end of the season but Macheda's representative Giovanni Bia expects him to stay at Old Trafford.

"On Macheda there was an interest from Bologna in the January window, but Manchester United held him absolutely unsellable," Bia told Radio Tau.

"I think it will be the same also in the next summer market.

"There will be no possibility of moving because the club will hold him tight."
