Macheda Not Leaving On Loan

Federico 'Kiko' Macheda's agent insists Manchester United have no intention of loaning out the Italian starlet this season.

Injury hampered much of the 18-year-old's campaign last time around, although he did return for the latter stages.

It had been thought Sir Alex Ferguson could loan out the teenage striker in order for him to bolster his first-team experience.

However, Macheda's agent Giovanni Bia does not believe the Scottish tactician will allow the ex-Roma trainee to leave in any capacity.

"Manchester have no intention of sending him out on loan to anyone," said Bia.

"For this reason I exclude the possibility of him being transferred in this transfer window."
