Fantastic interview. He seems very level-headed and came out with a lot of mature answers. No doubt he's got the talent to be a quality player, I hope he's successful in his career even if it's not with us.
Federico Macheda Loan watch

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Very level headed and seems eager to prove himself
He's shit. one of our best signings ever though thanks to the villa goal.
I can still dream that one day the same player will lead the line for United and the Italian national team.
It was just magic. I was distraught when we were losing the Villa match because we'd lost our previous two matches - that loss against Liverpool at OT, which was still fresh in our minds, and then the loss to Fulham. Also at this point, Liverpool were in great form, scoring lots of goals, and were gaining on us in the title race.
I was distraught because we were letting it slip, and I couldn't bare the thought of those cnuts overtaking us and winning the league. And having all the Liverpool supporters I know rubbing it in.
When Macheda scored that goal, and won us the match, it was just pure ecstasy. The momentum had shifted back our way, and it was all down to him. From the moment he came on the pitch, he looked like he meant business - how he celebrated when Ronnie scored the equaliser, how he put himself about and of course that goal. The celebrations were beyond amazing.
I managed to destroy my voice in the five minutes before him scoring and getting down onto the concourse. After that I think I was mostly stumbling along in a daze muttering "he's 17, he's only bloody 17."
I struggle to imagine any moment being more special, even Aguero's goal won just one title. Macheda changed the history of English football, and hardly anyone even knew who he was.
edit: Fun little story. My dad never really cared for football, but back in 2009 he decided to take an interest, presumably in an attempt at bonding or what have you. So I took him to four games over the course of about 10 months. Three of those games were the Macheda match, the Owen derby, and the League Cup semi-final. Now he goes more than I do.

That was one of my greatest moments at the match that goal! Pure ecstasy, no drug can come close to that feeling.
What rotten luck:

bah! At least it is not a long term injury and they are willing to have him back once he is fit.
first decent loan he had as well - he is definitely cursed
Playing for Doncaster right now on Sky Sports 1 - he provided the assist to the goal that they lead Yeovil by.
Macheda said that Pogba would be even better than Viera when Juve signed him......wouldn't be surprised if Macheda acted as an informer for Juve before they singed the Black Zidane

A brace today, can't find the goals anywhere. That's 3 in 2 for him now, might not be a lost cause yet!
Another brace, draws up a match, looking quality. Good finish.
His managers reaction is also priceless (3mins 14secs in):

^ Tyler Blackett with the cross there too. He was raved about on here a couple seasons ago.
His goals was really good. Berba touches on the first and fantastic second. Good for him.
Great celebration from Lee Clark
Great celebration from Lee Clark
I'd love to see him come back and make it. Pity there really is no place for him, even on the bench.
Delighted for him, some very nice striker finishes. Please, please keep this up
Lee clark. That's great for Macheda. that's what he needs at this stage. games for experience and developmentnever know....he may just make the step up for us...
I think its about 90% that he'll be leaving, even if he goes on a good run of goalscoring now he wont have done enough to show that hes better longterm than some of the other strikers we have coming through. But it would be really nice if he could score lots of goals and get a good permanent move for himself
The loan he always needed, about 3 and half years too late. Maybe, just maybe....
how many more years on his contract?
Ends at the end of this season, I think.
either way...I wish the lad the very best.
Yep personally his career has been badly handled so far. He really should have dropped down the lower leagues and had a loan. Going to 2 relegation fighting clubs when your learning your trade isn't what you need.
I think it's more or less guaranteed that he'll leave this summer. Although every United will remember him fondly due to that goal against Villa.
that goal broke Liverpool...
Thought he was a shoo-in for the first team at one point.
Agreed.
I thought he was a more naturally talented striker than Welbeck; I really thought he was going to be class.
Hope he manages to resurrect his career at a good level somewhere, if he doesn't return to Old Trafford.
does anyone know if there's a loan watch thread for jesse lingard?
While I know he went quite a bit without scoring many, I reckon he's got a good sense of goals. I thought he can be a great scorer and hopefully add more to his game. Kind of the opposite of what we need from Welbeck. Now, if we could combine the two...
there isnt one for him specifically.
thanks
Scored two goals in a 2-4 defeat to Bournemouth. He has now scored 7 goals in 11 appearances for Birmingham.
Good interview after the defeat below:

Nice to see him finally getting back on track. Too late for a career at United though.
Goals here:

Lovely 2nd goal.
