YOUNG star Federico Macheda is dreaming of Champions League
success with Manchester United this season.
The 18-year-old, who made such an impact in the second half of last
season, has yet to make the bench this term.
Away with the Italy Under-21 side this week, Macheda's absence from
the United first-team picture does seem surprising given the praise
boss Sir Alex Ferguson heaped on the teenager in the summer.
However, it seems Macheda is happy where he is just now even if at
some point in the future he would welcome a return to his
homeland.
"One day I would love to return to Italy as it was where I was born
and of course I always follow Italian football," he told Italian TV
channel Sky Sports 24.
"Maybe one day I will return to Lazio but for now I am happy at
Manchester United and it is my dream to play with them in the
Champions League this season."
