Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has aimed a hilarious dig at his pundit pal Robbie Savage after his son Charlie impressed in pre-season for the Red Devils.
The 19-year-old shone in the 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory on Friday, playing the entirety of the second half and catching the eye with his ability to dictate the tempo of the match and spray accurate passes all over the pitch. Thus, many singled out the midfielder for plenty of praise.
Savage made his debut under Ralf Rangnick last season, coming on in the 89th minute of United’s Champions League group stage match against Young Boys – which finished 1-1. And with Erik ten Hag now in the Old Trafford dugout, the teenager is working hard to stake his claim for more minutes in the centre of the park next season.
