Federico Macheda is a forward, born 22 August 1991 in Rome, Italy.
Federico spent his youth in several academies of Italy, but the penultimate stage of his training was in Lazio, where he spent a year. During that time, Macheda managed to attract the attention of the world’s top clubs and the English side Manchester United seriously aimed at buying the young forward.
In 2007 Federico moved to the ‘Red Devils’ academy, where he spent a year preparing for his professional career. The footballer had a very colourful career start. He fired a number of really important goals that helped the team to keep its position in the Champions League and climb up the tournament table. Federico was a very promising player, but Alex Ferguson had to take a lot of measures so that Macheda could get playing time, which is like bread and butter for every footballer.
In 2011 the management decided to send Macheda on loan to Sampdoria. After coming to Italy, the forward got a real opportunity to prove MU that he deserves to play in the ‘Red Devils’ first team. He made 17 appearances for the temporary club but without scoring a goal. In January 2012 Macheda was sent on loan again, this time to the English side Queens Park Rangers. He made three league appearances during six months due to an injury. Federico joined German side Stuttgart for the second half of 2012/2013 season.
In the season 2013/2014 Macheda had loan spells with Doncaster Rovers and Birmingham City.
In the summer 2014 Macheda completed a permanent move to Cardiff City.
From 2006 till 2009 Federico Macheda was capped for the Italy national U-16, U-17 and U-19 teams, played 14 games and netted two goals. From 2009 to 2012 Federico made ten appearances and kicked four goals for the national U-21 team.
