The Italian forward spent six months on loan with Italian side Sampdoria having joined in January but was unable to help the team avoid relegation.
The 19-year-old, who is under contract with United until June 2013, failed to score in 14 Serie A appearances for the Genoa outfit.
"Psychologically it was not easy because to go from United to Sampdoria and to fight to avoid the drop was a difficult situation," Macheda said.
"I wanted to have an experience in Italy but now I want to remain in the Premier League. England is better suited for young players.
"I arrived in Genoa with great enthusiasm. The first few games the team and I did very well but after the defeat to Napoli, I did not find continuity."
Macheda shot to prominence with United in April 2009, scoring a spectacular last-minute winner against Aston Villa on his debut and following that up with the decisive goal at Sunderland in his second match.
He struggled to maintain the momentum in 2009/10, netting just once in five Barclays Premier League appearances.
He played seven times for the Red Devils in the Barclays Premier League in 2010/11, again notching one goal before being loaned out to Sampdoria.
Now though he is aiming to reassert himself in what he hopes will be a big season at Old Trafford.
