Former Manchester United and Wales midfielder Robbie Savage has turned to a former City player and childhood friend for the next step of his project at Macclesfield FC.
Savage is currently the director of football at Macclesfield FC, a non-league phoenix club founded in 2020 after Macclesfield Town were wound up. The Welshman's involvement with the club has been well documented, with the BBC producing a two-part documentary about his involvement and his efforts to drive the side up through the divisions.
Now, with Macclesfield currently playing in the Northern Premier League West Division - the eighth tier of English football - Savage has turned to someone some City fans might be familiar with.
