"Manchester United" on their official website confirmed that they are loaning forward Federico Macheda to "Stuttgart" until the end of the season.

The footballer, who gets little playing time in the team of the English Premier League vice champions, is already in Germany, where he will complete negotiations.

"I am happy that I will be able to play in Germany and with the 'Stuttgart' team. Here, I should get more time on the field and can prove my worth," said the Italian.

The 21-year-old F. Macheda has been playing for "Man Utd" since 2008, but in recent years he has represented "Sampdoria" and QPR. This season, wearing the jersey of the "Red Devils," the forward played only 3 matches.
