Michael Owen is set to stay with Manchester United.
The agent of Kiko Macheda, Marcello Bonetto, has revealed his client could leave on-loan with Owen among the strikers now available to United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Owen has been linked with Aston Villa, but Bonetto says: "The club and Sir Alex Ferguson have immense confidence in 'Chicco'.
"But with the return of Owen and the explosion of Berbatov and Hernandez, plus the confirmation of Rooney, the space for him at Manchester is limited."
