Charlie Savage - the lowdown on the Manchester United youngster hoping to break into the first team

Charlie Savage's rise up the ranks at Manchester United took a significant step on Wednesday when he signed his first professional deal with the club.

It's a path that has already been trodden by his father Robbie, who then went on to carve an excellent career in the top flight featuring for the likes of Leicester City, Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers as well as becoming a Wales international.

However, Robbie didn't manage to break through to the first-team at Old Trafford despite featuring in the fabled youth set up of the Class of '92 alongside the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville.
