Doncaster Rovers keen to resurrect Federico Macheda loan deal

Doncaster Rovers manager Paul Dickov says that he is interested in taking Manchester United's Federico Macheda back on loan.

Doncaster Rovers manager Paul Dickov has expressed his interest in taking Manchester United striker Federico Macheda back on loan.

The Italian joined the Keepmoat Stadium for a month-long stint in September, but his stay was cut short by a hamstring injury.

Dickov is keen to improve his squad following last weekend's 4-0 drubbing by Middlesbrough and has been informed that Macheda is close to regaining fitness.

"Kiko is getting closer to being fit again and although I have not spoken to United for a few weeks, I will be on the phone soon to see if we can get him back here as he was a big plus to the side with his eye for goal," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying.

"I am always looking at how I can strengthen the side and this week I have been away a few days looking at players. If I see again what I saw on Friday night, I will look to bring in other players to play instead.

"I'm looking at players I can bring in up to January and to be honest Friday night changed my mind a little bit. I don't think I will be bringing in anyone before Saturday at this moment in time."

Doncaster take on Brighton & Hove Albion at home in the league this Saturday.
