Federico Macheda has penned a new four-year contract with Manchester United.
The 18-year-old has been an instant success since breaking into the United line-up last season, scoring winning goals against Aston Villa and Sunderland.
Those strikes went some way to helping the Red Devils claim the Barclays Premier League title - their 18th league championship.
Although Macheda has only made four appearances this season, manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes the young Italian has a bright future.
We are delighted by the new four year deal," said Ferguson.
"Everyone at the club recognises the fantastic talent he has and we hope to see that develop in the next years, so he becomes a well rounded player."
Macheda came off the bench in United's 2-0 Carling Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur this week and has a further opportunity to shine in next week's Champions League tie with Wolfsburg in Germany.
The Italian U21 international, who joined from Lazio at 16, was delighted to extend his stay with the Old Trafford club.
"I am very happy to commit my future to Manchester United," said Macheda. "I really enjoyed myself last season when I came on and I hope to get more chances like that and contribute to the team's success."
