Charlie Savage

[TrustInJanuzaj]

I think he’s got it. So composed in possession. Long passing and short with both feet. Very impressed with him. I’d like to see him get a chance with the first team players in place of McTominay.

 

[flameinthesun]

Showed more of his passing range in this game, very good performance from him.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Excellent. Looks like daddy made him watch plenty of Scholes videos.

 

[MUFC OK]

I'm not getting carried away but I think we've found the heir to Michael Carrick.

 

[JJ12]

Fair play to him - looking good.

 

[Golden Nugget]

Both Savage and Iqbal have impressed me in the two halves they’ve played, both being solid in the two games - Zidane shined against Liverpool, Savage against Victory. Both look like good prospects

 

[hp88]

Need to hold onto Savage and Zidane, use them for the Europa and the cup games, pointless loaning them out.

 

[Yagami]

A championship career awaits him.

 

[Mickeza]

He’s a very intelligent player. Even the few times we got caught 2nd half he was in the right place but just not quite there yet physically to get the ball back. Wand of a left foot. Picks the right option 9 times out of 10. Interesting he seems to be ahead of Hannibal now.

 

[Mainoldo]

Baller.

 

[Demaw]

A championship career awaits him.

Agree, him and Iqbal are not going much further. Good solid kids, that's all.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Depressing how much more he looks like a legitimate central midfielder than McTominay. The second half panned out like the first half should have. Because we finally had some central midfielders who can actually pass the ball. Not a big ask, right?!

 

[crossy1686]

Almost ready for first team football this lad, him and Iqbal have been really impressive so far this pre-season.

 

[Okey]

This boy is such a natural. Lawd I hope he keeps progressing.

 

[arthurka]

Baller.

This, looks easy and effortless

 

[Yagami]

Agree, him and Iqbal are not going much further. Good solid kids, that's all.

I have hope for Iqbal. Savage is average, though.

 

[Lash]

Looks like a disciplined CM in the making. Looks like we have a fair few profiles at the club who could grow nicely into Ten Hag's squad.

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Frenkie who? Super savage is here.

 

[Teja]

A championship career awaits him.

Agree, him and Iqbal are not going much further. Good solid kids, that's all.

What do you not like about them?

 

[Skills]

He looks good. I think we need to find a way to put him on the shop window, so we can get 25-30m for him next season.

 

[GDaly95]

Doesn't look quite as technically proficient as Iqbal beside him but still a very good performance. Makes himself available for the ball at all times. Some of his passes were a bit 'floaty' but generally it was promising.

 

[Van Piorsing]

Make things look simple in tight situations. It's not a bad trait at all for a deep midfielder.

Nice diagonal pass to Chongy.

 

[Bojan Djordjic]

Frenkie who? Super savage is here.

Would be a certain irony if he was pushed out of Barca because among other more pressing reasons they have Gavi and Pedri only for him to land at United after a protracted transfer battle only for Savage and Zidane to keep their iron grip on United's midfield.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Has looked brilliant in the two pre season games so far.

 

[Kramer]

Very impressive performance. Was surprised when ETH picked him and Iqbal against Pool but he clearly knows what he’s doing. Both lads did well but particularly impressed with Savage. Could be an option next to FDJ in a double pivot. Probably not this season but the talent is there.

 

[RedRoach]

He was better than Iqbal in this game, spreading passes around short and long with accuracy and looked like he just had more time on the ball whilst Iqbal looked rushed in the things he did.

Granted hard to judge based on the quality of the opposition but he looks a better passer than our established midfielders (McFred etc.) already.

 

[VidaRed]

What do you not like about them?

They're not from some far away land with a decent signing fee.

 

[captaincantona]

For me he just knows how to play the position better than McT. He follows his pass well, moves well, covers space well and is far more willing it seems to call for the ball in tight spaces which will be essential for ETH. He won’t get a sniff if DeJong comes in but I can see him follow in Garners footsteps and have a really productive loan at a decent side next season.

 

[AjaxCunian]

Awesome passing range this guy, but really doubt he will cut it for now in the premier league. He is slow, not very dynamic and also not strong. Not great on the dribble either but will be good to see how he does vs Villa and Crystal Palace.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Good to hear he played well!

 

[MetoTTT]

Really hope he'll do it. Same for Garner. Fingers crossed.

 

[Trex]

He looks good. I think we need to find a way to put him on the shop window, so we can get 25-30m for him next season.

We are not Dortmund.

 

[Skills]

We are not Dortmund.

We're moronic then.

 

[Trex]

We're moronic then.

You wouldn't even give him a chance?

 

[Mickson]

Agree. I'm surprised by the hype. I don't rate him. But I thought he played well today.

Genuine question. Based on what? Have you seen him in the youth teams?

 

[avgp_1]

He is a sweet passer of the ball and has a good touch, some good layoffs in the couple of games that have impressed me. Covers good ground, defensively aware.

 

[Mickson]

Genuine question. Based on what? Have you seen him in the youth teams?

Every game for about 3-4 years now. I think the poster I quoted explained it pretty well.

I don’t think dynamism is that important. Far better to read the game well and fundamentally it’s his ability on the ball people are impressed with. I’ve not seen many Utd players look so comfortable on both feet in the first team for years.

 

[Ekeke]

I'm not getting carried away but I think we've found the heir to Michael Carrick.

You're more than getting carried away
