Man Utd striker Macheda excited about Doncaster chance

Manchester United striker Kiko Macheda is delighted with his move to Doncaster Rovers.

Macheda has signed on an initial month's loan.

He told the Doncaster website: "I have waited quite while to make this move here, which is a great opportunity for me. I came here because I have seen and heard of the great football Paul (Dickov) has been instrumental in playing here. The manager convinced me that this is an ambitious club with a great set up and a vision for the future. So I am looking forward now to playing my first game"

"I know after promotion last season, they want to keep progressing and moving forward. I feel this is a good move to get my career back on track and here I will have more opportunity to play league football. It will be good for me and also I hope is good for the team. I had a few offers both in the Championship and abroad but I felt the Championship is the place for me right now especially to a club who really wanted me."
