Federico Macheda<\/a> is delighted to be back at Manchester United<\/a> after spending the second half of last season on loan at Sampdoria<\/a> and says “nothing can compare” to the English club.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old Italian striker had a tough time back in his homeland as Sampdoria suffered a shock relegation, and says he always wanted to come back to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

After scoring twice in a pre-season match against New England Revolution, Macheda told Sky Sports News<\/em>: \u201cI’m very happy because I had a difficult six months last season, so it’s good to start well this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn’t wait to get back here when I was in Italy, even though it’s my country.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing can compare to Manchester United, so I’m really happy to get back here, and I hope to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Signed in 2007 from Lazio, Macheda caught the eyes of Premier League fans at the end of the 2008-09 season, when he emerged to score crucial goals against Aston Villa and Sunderland to help United pip Liverpool to the title.<\/p>\n

But he failed to break into the first team and was loaned out to Sampdoria, where he scored just one goal in 16 appearances.<\/p>\n
