EXCLUSIVE: Macheda rewarded for his heroics with new £10,000 a week deal at United
Federico Macheda is congratulated by Wayne Rooney after his crucial winner for Manchester United at Sunderland
Federico Macheda's stunning start to his Manchester United career is to be rewarded with a new £10,000-a-week contract this summer.
The 17-year-old, known as ‘Kiko’, currently earns £400-a-week but is on the first-team appearance bonus of £2,000 a game in the Premier League.
He scored United’s winner at Sunderland on Saturday just 46 seconds after coming on as a substitute.
The Italian, who hit a stunning injury-time winner against Aston Villa on his debut, signed a three-year deal when he joined from Lazio in September 2007, but his elevation to the first team squad has set the wheels in motion for an improved deal.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has recognised his remarkable contribution to their title challenge.
He said: ‘The lad has something special. I’ve had a chat with his family and I’m sure they will keep his feet on the ground.
‘He has that quick thinking, that instinct, which good goalscorers have. He wasn’t fazed by anything when he came on.’

The reserves earn 400 pound a week?
No wonder EPL teams can maintain such a big squad...
400 to 10k is 2500% increase in wage... shiok
-
400 pound also a lot liao lor.... he is just 17yrs old leh... 1600 pounds per month.... is like S$3200... much more than the starting pay of a grad here haha....
-
Federico Macheda cost Manchester United just £35,000 from his old club Lazio... A good buy... lol
-
For a 17 yr old to earn 1.6k pounds a month, plus any other games that he plays (2k per game), its not bad money alr. Even in England, 1.6k is more than enough cash for most youngsters to spend. Sounds little, but actually its not too bad. Of course in comparison with the 100k weekly wages of the star players, these figures pale greatly in comparison.
-
Just to add on, does anyone here know roughly how much a S-league player would cost? Just curious.
-
