    Sir Alex Ferguson still believes in Macheda after ending QPR loan spell
    The Manchester United boss feels the striker has been unlucky during his loan spells and remains hopeful over the Italian's future despite undergoing an ankle operation
    The Italian joined the west Londoners in January during Neil Warnock’s reign. However, within a matter of weeks the Yorkshireman was replaced by Mark Hughes.

    Unfortunately for Macheda, he was not in the Welshman’s plans but he did not help matters when he was fined £15,000 by the Football Association for posting a homophobic Tweet.

    He has recently returned to United for treatment on an ankle injury, ending his loan spell with QPR.

    It is now the second time the 20-year-old has endured a frustrating loan spell after his stint at Sampdoria saw a changeover in managers within weeks of his arrival, but Sir Alex feels luck is not on the striker’s side.

    He told MUTV: “He is so unlucky.



    “I have complete belief in the boy. He could be an outstanding player. But he needs football.

    “We put him on loan to Sampdoria last January. He was there for two weeks, they sacked the coach and he doesn't get a game.

    “We put him on loan to QPR. Two weeks later they sack the coach and he doesn't get a game.

    “That has been really unfortunate.”

    The former Lazio youth player joined United in 2007 and has made 19 appearances for the Red Devils.

    However, Macheda will have to wait until next season to play again after the 70-year-old revealed the attacker is to undergo surgery.

    “He has been bothered with his ankle a little bit over the last few weeks, so we have done the right thing to get an operation and hopefully he will be ready for next season,” he said.





    *** He did get a start under Hughes v MK Dons and he was ****! ***

    Sounds like Fergie is trying to talk up a transfer...

    I think he's just telling whoever watches MUTV what they want to hear. I'm sure he knows that he's a useless lazy twat and will get rid as soon as possible. There's no doubt the kid has a bit of talent, albeit nowhere near as much as he or United fans from Esher who saw him on the television for two minutes about three years ago think, but an attitude to rival Leon Knight.

    Two loan spells, two managers sacked shortly after signing him. Does that suggest it's only managers that behind closed doors are in fear of losing their job regardless of public votes of confidence that are turning to him in desperation?

    He did show a glimse of real talent against MK and he didn't get much playing time with us, but he needs to do a hell of a lot more. Ferguson ain't going to say much else now anyway.

    Fergie obviously sees him as a natural replacement for Rock of Gibraltar.

    He's nowhere near good enough.
