Like father, like son! Robbie Savage's child Charlie, 17, signs his first professional contract with Manchester United... and bids to go one better than his lookalike dad, who failed to make a SINGLE appearance for the club

Charlie Savage has followed in the footsteps of his dad Robbie by signing his first professional contract with Manchester United.

The 17-year-old midfielder will be hoping to fare better than his father at Old Trafford by breaking into the first team as he vowed to keep working hard to impress manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Robbie Savage failed to make a senior appearance for the Red Devils after joining the club in 1991 - instead moving on to Leicester City, Birmingham and Blackburn while fellow academy graduates like David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes went on to flourish as the famed 'Class of 92'.
