Unsuccessful loan spells followed at Sampdoria and QPR and the future looked bleak.
But with some stars left at home, Macheda was given a chance in the first game of their South Africa tour.
The 20-year-old hit the only goal in the 20th minute against AmaZulu FC here.
Dimitar Berbatov provided the through ball and Macheda’s finish was class.
He could have had a second just before half-time.
A burst of pace got him away from his marker but he shot inches wide of the far post.
Keeper Anders Lindegaard pulled off a couple of cracking saves to show he is a serious contender to David de Gea.
Ferguson praised Berbatov’s performance but said he would would listen to offers for the wantaway striker.
Fergie said: “He’s a fantastic talent. The boy wants to play and I’m happy about that.
“But if someone comes in we’d have to assess that situation.”
