Manchester United youngster could make summer Parma move

Manchester United youngster Federico Macheda is unlikely to join Parma this January, with any move he does make likely to be within England.

The Rome-born striker has spent a number of spells away from Old Trafford on loan, most recently with Doncaster Rovers.

Speaking to Gazzetta.it, Macheda’s agent Giovanni Bia scuppered rumours linking his charge to a move to the Ducali.

“For now, the British club is asking for a lot of money, it would be difficult to move in January,” he admitted.

Though, he refused to close the door to a deal with the Crociati.

“Parma do not need a player with his attributes at the moment,” he said.

“For June, we’ll see. For now Federico does not mind the idea of continuing in Britain in a different shirt.”

Macheda has not played a league game for Manchester United since 2012, going on loan to four different clubs in that time instead.
