Federico Macheda insists he doesn't regret anything about his Manchester United career.

The 17-year-old announced himself to the world when he came off the bench against Aston Villa to score a 93rd minute winner for United in 2009.

But Macheda never reached his potential at Old Trafford, and after six separate loan spells he left the club on a permanent basis in 2014.

The current Panathinaikos forward told Goal: "I don't regret anything.

"Manchester United was a very beautiful experience for me and I still have many fantastic memories of my time there.

"Memories that I still take with me everywhere I go. In Manchester I grew up not only as a player but also as a man and I will always cherish those wonderful memories of my time playing for the biggest club in the world."
