Brighton & Hove Albion have emerged as the leading contenders to sign Manchester United striker Federico Macheda on loan.
The 21-year-old Italian is expected to leave Old Trafford on a temporary basis during the upcoming January transfer window.
Macheda has previously been loaned out to Sampdoria and Queens Park Rangers in recent seasons.
Championship side Brighton now have a good chance of landing the forward in the New Year, according to The Sun.
Blackpool and Hull City are also thought to be interested in Macheda.
