Kiko Macheda is calm about his progress at Manchester United.
Away with the Italy Under-21 side this week, Macheda's absence from the United first-team picture does seem surprising given the praise Ferguson heaped on the teenager in the summer.
However, it seems Macheda is happy where he is just now, even if, at some point in the future, he would welcome a return to his homeland.
"One day I would love to return to Italy as it was where I was born and of course I always follow Italian football," he told Italian TV channel Sky Sports 24.
"Maybe one day I will return to Lazio but for now I am happy at Manchester United and it is my dream to play with them in the Champions League this season."
