Man United star Savage signs on loan

Forest Green Rovers are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Charlie Savage on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.

Charlie - who is the son of former Wales international Robbie Savage - strengthens Rovers’ midfield department.

Savage - who will wear the number 48 shirt - is highly-rated at Old Trafford, and signed his first professional contract with the Red Devils in April 2021. He has made one first-team appearance at United - coming off the bench in their Champions League draw against Young Boys in December 2021.

The 19-year-old has represented the Welsh national team at under-17s, under-18s, under-19s and under-21s level.

Upon joining the club, Savage said: “I’m buzzing to be here. As soon as I found out Forest Green were interested, I just wanted to get down and get started.

“I loved the sound of the club - and I actually came down here last season for work experience under Rob Edwards. I know the people and the place really well.”
