Manchester United striker Kiko Macheda insists QPR will stay up.

Macheda has made 15 starts and 18 substitute appearances for United and spent the second half of last season on loan with Sampdoria.

The Italian could not prevent Samp suffering relegation to Serie B, but does not fear a similar fate with QPR.

"No, no, no, I don't worry," he said. "I couldn't help them stay in Serie A because the problem was another thing. The team did not work well and there was another situation different to here.

"In Italy everything is difficult and I never really played as well."
