Charlie William Henry Savage (born 2 May 2003) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Manchester United.

Early life[]

Born in Leicester, Savage followed in the footsteps of his father, former Welsh international footballer Robbie Savage, by joining the youth ranks of Manchester United.[3][4]

Club career[]

Savage signed his first professional contract with Manchester United in April 2021.[5][6]

Style of play[]
