Kiko Macheda expects to leave Manchester United this week.

The Italy U21 striker admits a move away permanently in January is also on the agenda.

"My future is far from here," he told Tuttomercatoweb.com. "This week I should go on loan somewhere, I want to find continuity, to do well, to show off.

"And then let's see ... in January."

Macheda is expected to return to Doncaster Rovers, where his previous loan spell was cut short with a hamstring strain.
