Federico Macheda wants longer Doncaster Rovers stay

Federico Macheda has said that he would like his loan at Doncaster Rovers to be for longer than a month.

The Manchester United striker's temporary move to Yorkshire was confirmed on Monday and he made his debut from the bench in last night's defeat at Watford.

Speaking afterwards, the 22-year-old told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It would be a shame to be here just a month. If I can stay until January, that would be great.

"I'm really looking forward to more playing time. I think it was the best move for me."

Last night's defeat leaves Paul Dickov's Rovers in 18th place in the Championship.
