Charlie Savage has been hailed as a “fantastic” asset by Forest Green Rovers boss Duncan Ferguson after covering more than 12 kilometres in Sunday’s shock 1-0 win over League One high-fliers Sheffield Wednesday.
The Manchester United youngster is on loan at the third-tier club until the end of the season having joined in January. Savage made his senior United debut in December 2021 but is yet to play competitively under Erik ten Hag despite decent friendly showings.
Savage netted his first senior goal earlier this month in a 3-1 defeat to Bristol Rovers and Everton legend Ferguson has praised the impact the 19-year-old has produced since his arrival at the bottom club.
