South Wales rivals Cardiff City and Swansea City are both reportedy weighing up moves for Manchester United youngster Charlie Savage.

However, the duo are likely to be face plenty of competition for his signature, with a host of other Championship clubs also in the picture.

According to reports from The Sun and Football Insider, Sheffield Wednesday, Wigan Athletic, Rotherham United and Portsmouth are among the other clubs to be monitoring developments, with the Wales under-21 international seemingly looking set for another stint away following a reasonably successful spell at Forest Green Rovers last term.

Savage has been left out of Erik ten Hag's squad for Wednesday's friendly with Lyon in Edinburgh, and there are already doubts over whether he will participate in the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

It's not yet clear whether any prospective move would be permanent or a loan, although the latter would certainly make more sense from a Cardiff point of view.

The 20-year-old still has nearly two years to run on his current deal at Old Trafford, and the Bluebirds are still unable to pay fees for players until January.

Swansea meanwhile, may well prefer a loan move too, with cash still somewhat tight this summer as Michael Duff continues to rebuild his squad ahead of the new campaign.

Savage joined Man Utd's academy before rising through the ranks to sign his first professional contract in April 2021.

He may be a promising up and coming youngster, but in my view, not what we are looking for to strengthen our midfield.

I agree. Did well at Forest Green. But I don't think he'll improve us at this moment.

We need established players. Whether Championship or similar from abroad. Need to be better than what we have.

I’d have thought we would want someone that’s either been there and done it or someone like Doyle who should be starting somewhere but hasn’t had the chance yet.

Reading look set to win the race for highly-rated Manchester United midfielder Charlie Savage, according to Manchester Evening News.

The 20-year-old gained his first taste of regular first team football last season when he joined then-League One side Forest Green Rovers on a six-month loan deal.

Looks like Reading will be paying a fee so thats us out of the picture
