Manchester United striker Federico Macheda has hinted that he may go out on loan again in the January transfer window.

The 20-year-old Italian spent the latter part of last season at Serie A side Sampdoria, although he has said that he would like to stay in England if any move were to materialise.

"An assignment on loan in January? We have opportunities, but I definitely won't be going back to Italy," Macheda told tuttomercatoweb.

"I would like to play in England, today and tomorrow, because I want my future to be at Manchester United.

"There are proposals from the Premier League, we are evaluating them and we'll make our choices when the time comes."

Macheda joined United's youth academy as a 16-year-old.
