Charlie William Henry Savage (born 2 May 2003) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Manchester United. He has represented Wales at various youth international levels and is the son of former Welsh international Robbie Savage.
Early life
Born in Leicester and with education including Manchester Grammar School,[3] Savage followed in the footsteps of his father, former Welsh international footballer Robbie Savage, by joining the youth ranks of Manchester United.[4][5]
Club career
Savage signed his first professional contract with Manchester United in April 2021.[6][7] He made his first-team debut for United on 8 December 2021, replacing Juan Mata in the 89th minute of the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League match against Young Boys,[8] while his father was co-commentating on the match for BT Sport.[9]
International career
Savage has represented Wales at under-17 and under-18 level.[2][7][10] He was called up to the Wales under-19 team in August 2021, and scored in a 3–2 defeat to Austria.[11][12]
Style of play
A central midfielder like his father, Savage is comfortable both defending and going forward.[13] Despite the similarities, Savage has said that he does not see the likeness, stating that he is more of a technical, ball playing midfielder, rather than a tenacious player like his father was.[14]
