Man Utd striker Macheda launches attack on ex-Italy U21 boss Casiraghi

Manchester United striker Kiko Macheda has hit out at former Italy U21 coach and ex-Chelsea striker Pierluigi Casiraghi.

Macheda also pledged to follow his brace last week with a hat-trick.

"I can give more," he told Gazzetta dello Sport after netting both in a 2-1 friendly win over Turkey yesterday afternoon.

"If I scored two this time, then for the next game I will get three."

Macheda was the star of the show on Coach Ciro Ferrara's debut, but the Manchester United striker had been repeatedly benched by the previous boss.

"Casiraghi never had any faith in me. I have never felt the way I do today. I like Ferrara, though, as he is relaxed and really talks to you.

"He put his faith in me and I repaid him."
