The Italian, who shot to fame after scoring a late winning goal against Aston Villa at the tender age of 17, has never consistently featured in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans.
In a bid to secure first team football and much needed experience, Macheda left Old Trafford to move back to his homeland during the January transfer window.
Life at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris has proved frustrating for the Red Devils' starlet, as he and the Genoa-based club collectively have struggled for form.
“I will speak to Sir Alex Ferguson to decide what to do next season. Sampdoria could be a useful experience for him, even in the case of Serie B, but it is still early to talk about it.”
“The first games were played well but then maybe Federico [Macheda] was incorporated into this fight for salvation, and if the most experienced players were not able to raise the team, surely a 20-year-old boy can't do it.
“Macheda was bad for this situation. There's too much pressure and criticism in Italian football and I think he has regretted how it has turned out.
“In Genoa he has been fine, but he probably returned to Italy too soon. It's different football to the British game.”
