Agent admits Man Utd exit likely for Macheda

The agent of striker Kiko Macheda admits a move away is likely in January.

Giovanni Bia says he's already spoken to United manager Sir Alex Ferguson about Macheda's lack of first team action this season.

"I spoke last week with Ferguson: I think that Federico will play somewhere else," he told Sportal.it. "He can no longer continue to be on the field for only a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes, it is vital to find more space.

"The demand is there, but only from abroad. In the first week of January we will evaluate the proposals that we receive. Macheda's departure, however, has nothing to do with the elimination of United from the Champions League."
