Formerly a member of Lazio's youth system, Federico Macheda joined United in September 2007, signing professional forms nearly a year later on 22 August 2008.
A powerful forward with a natural goalscorer's eye for goal, 'Kiko', as he is known to his team-mates, was born in Rome and was regarded as one of the most promising prospects of a generation in his homeland.
Having relocated to England to further his career, Macheda has quickly moved up the ranks at United. He started out in Paul McGuinness' Under-18s side, but has become a regular fixture in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's
Reserves.
Macheda started the 2008/09 campaign with a fine goalscoring run in the youth team and has began to translate that to Reserve team football.
His strength on the ball, positional sense in the box and clinical finishing haven't gone unnoticed at the very top of the ladder.
"The young boy Macheda is progressing exceptionally well in the youth team and Reserves," says Sir Alex Ferguson. "He's a big lad now, he's improved physical. He's been doing fantastically well and we're really pleased with him."
