Manchester United's leader Tannhäuser has made a high-profile promise to support young talent, but his words have not been matched by his actions, and he has actually pushed the "second generation of stars" Charlie Savage into the transfer market. The 20-year-old midfielder eventually joined League One rivals Reading, signing a four-year contract with a transfer fee of up to £500,000 (HK$5 million).
Charlie Savage comes from a footballing family, with his father, a former Welsh international, known for his ferocious style of play and the nickname "The King of Killers". However, Charlie Savage is known for his skill and made his debut for Manchester United's first team in December 2021 in a UEFA Europa League match against Young Boys, but has spent most of his time since then in United's youth team.
In January this year, Charlie Savage was loaned to League One side Glynn Forest and scored 1 goal in 15 appearances. Now, he has officially bid farewell to Glynn Forest and moved to Reading to continue his career.
