Man Utd wonderkid delighted to be back

The 18-year-old scored his first goal of the season in the defeat by Chelsea on Saturday, following a lengthy injury lay-off.

“As a striker, it’s always good to score, but it would have been better if we’d have won the game,” Macheda told MUTV.

“We are very disappointed, but there are still five games left and we are ready to play those games.

“I hope to be involved in the upcoming matches – I’ve had a few injuries this season and been out for a good few months. But I’m pleased to be back now.”

Macheda could be involved in the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

He added: “We must forget the Chelsea game because there are still games left and we must focus on those.

“We have to train hard and be focused on the Bayern game now and hopefully we can get the result we need.”
