Robbie Savage proud of son Charlie after Man Utd debut

Robbie Savage was beaming with pride after son Charlie made his Manchester United debut against Young Boys on Wednesday.

Former Wales international Savage came through the ranks at United but never made a first-team appearance.

Charlie, 17, was brought on as a substitute as United drew 1-1 at Old Trafford.

Savage Sr said on BT Sport: "Coming on for Manchester United, Charlie Savage for Juan Mata. Wow. I never believed I'd ever say those words here at Manchester United.

"What a proud day for my boy. For all the hard work - what a day for me, his mother, his nanna, his grandparents and most importantly for that boy there, Charlie Savage.

"I'm so proud of him. It's just an amazing moment for him. Coming on for a World Cup winner!"
