Doncaster Rovers have signed Federico Macheda on an initial one-month loan from Manchester United
Doncaster Rovers have, this morning, secured a massive coup by completing the signing of Manchester United striker Federico Macheda on an initial one-month loan.
The 22-year-old who has been frozen out of the picture at Old Trafford reported to Cantley Park for training this morning and is in line to make his début in tomorrow night’s Sky Bet Championship match at Watford.
Macheda, who broke on to the scene in 2009 when he scored an injury time winner against Aston Villa, watched Rovers’ goalless draw at the weekend with Huddersfield Town from the directors box.
Paul Dickov had been linked with a move for the out of favour United striker earlier this summer but speculation went dead following the signing of fellow striker Theo Robinson.
The Italian last played for United in December during their Champions League match to FC Cluj. However, he has spent the last three years away from Old Trafford on loan spells with Sampdoria, Queens Park Rangers and Stuttgart.
