He's really tidy on the ball but I don't think his actual passing is that great. It's not bad either but a lot of the passes are slightly misplaced or over/under hit. He just looks composed when he does them.
He has plenty of time to improve on that and definitely one to keep an eye on and who might get the odd chance here and there, but anyone thinking he'll be playing regularly in our first team midfield next season I think is kidding themselves. He's miles away from being ready for that. If he's considered ready for first team football he'll more likely go on loan.
We've had plenty of young players who can look tidy on the ball and pick a pass. There's a whole lot more than that to playing in a PL midfield. If we wanted to give a youngster who has quality on the ball and a range of passing a try, Garner would be head of the queue.
That's not saying I haven't been impressed with Savage but we need a bit of realism. People talking as if he should replace Mctominay now I assume don't understand the concept of pre season against Melbourne not being the same as a 100mph Premier league game where you get found out with every mistake and buried into the ground if you aren't up to it physically.
No idea if he is good enough or not but this is exactly what we should be doing with Elanga while his stock is high. He won't make it at United in my view but I'm sure we could get 20m for him now.
That's a nothing amount for a club who let £50m players run their contracts down and leave for free.
Not to mention if we sold Elanga we'd have absolutely no back up for either Rashford or Sancho, and after last season it's debatable who out of Rashford and Elanga would even be the back up.
