Macheda Did Not Call Rooney "Vulgar"

Federico Macheda has clarified those comment he made about Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney after a mistranslated quote about the England striker became headlines.

Macheda used the term 'coatto' to describe Rooney which according to Gabriel Marcotti, is a roman slang to say "brash", "unrefined" and "working class".

Kiko, instantly cleared the air and said, " I said 'coatto' in the Roman way but with the minimum intention to offend Rooney. "

He added on by saying, "I like him and I have maximum respect for him. What I wanted to say that for me he is a free spirit and genuine."

According to Kiko, he sent a message to Rio Ferdinand to clear things up and everything's alright. It better be.

Macheda: Rooney Is "Working Class and Vulgar"

Federico Macheda must be really careful when the Manchester United squad meet up after the international break after a gaffe during an interview about under performing teammate Wayne Rooney when away with Italy's Under 21's.

Federico was speaking to Gazetta Dello Sport when he let this slip out.

"Rooney is a really great person, he always gives me advice, but he’s a bit working class and vulgar."

Macheda was also clearing up rumours whether he will be going on loan to former club, Lazio.

Bad BAD bad thing, Kiko.

Youngsters Macheda (2nd from left) and De Laet (4th from left) were also part of the 23 man squad that flew out to Germany.

Giggsy, Scholesy and Neville were all there during United's Champions League Final triumph over Bayern Munich.

"4 goals, I promise". Maybe Wayne is promising the gaffer he would repeat his demolition of Hull City during their recent form.

Is he laughing at the ball?

Nice hairstyle, Berba.
