Manchester United youngster Charlie Savage has completed his medical at Forest Green ahead of a loan move for the rest of the season.
Savage signed a new deal with Manchester United last year, keeping him at the club until 2025. Savage is clearly a highly rated youngster as he made his first team debut for the club in the Champions League just months before signing his new contract.
Due to his age, Savage will struggle to make it into the top team squads on a regular basis at this point, especially with Eric Ten Hag’s squad performing exceptionally well.
Fabrizio Romano has now announced that Savage has completed medical treatment ahead of his loan move to Forest Green Rovers.

Gaining valuable experience and taking out a loan to play regular senior football is exactly what a player like Savage needs right now. The difference in standards between youth and senior football is astronomical and playing in the EFL will help him grow physically.
Savage will be a valuable learning curve for the young man, as he will face an experienced midfielder with tough tackles rather than a kid with United’s youth set-up.
