Charlie Savage will head back to Manchester United this summer buoyed by his first Football League loan experience.
The youngster has spent the last few months on loan at Forest Green Rovers in League One, and while he couldn't stop the club sliding into League Two after finishing bottom of the third tier, it has been a personal success for the 20-year-old.
He's made regular appearances plus netted his first senior goal and will now return to Old Trafford for pre-season in the hope of catching Erik ten Hag's eye. Another loan spell may well be next on the agenda for the midfielder but his dad Robbie, a former Premier League player and a former United youngster himself, feels the spell in Gloucestershire was the perfect preparation for what is to come.
