Charlie Savage has admitted he was ‘begging’ Manchester United to let him leave the club once he knew Reading were interested in signing him.
The United academy graduate joined the League One side last week on a four-year deal. As revealed by the Manchester Evening News, the move includes a significant sell-on fee for the Reds, who will also retain the right to match any bid for the youngster in the future.
Savage, who made his first-team debut in December 2021 spent last season on loan at Forest Green Rovers, making 15 appearances as they were relegated from League One. He has now decided to test himself by leaving United permanently – admitting he had become ‘too comfortable’ at Old Trafford.
