Kiko Macheda has no regrets over his move to Manchester United.
Macheda, 20, quit Lazio over three years ago to sign for United, but has seen his progress stall in the last 12 months.
"To tell you the truth I do not regret anything, because going to Manchester has helped me a lot," he told lalaziosiamonoi.it/. "If I'd stayed with Lazio, I wouldn't have made my debut at such a young age.
"Also, at the time Lazio's youth team wasn't the best.
"Manchester followed me for two years, while at Lazio I wasn't getting a regular game. I was always on the bench, then came Manchester and it become more serious when I talked to (Sir Alex) Ferguson's brother and all the leaders who made me understand that they had a big project for me."
