Macheda also struck a late winner 46 seconds after coming on as a late replacement in his next game against Sunderland to help United win the title but has since been on loan at Sampdoria, Queens Park Rangers, VfB Stuttgart and Doncaster Rovers.

Old Trafford youngsters Tyler Blackett and Tom Thorpe also joined Birmingham on loan on Friday.
