'I needed to be challenged' - How Manchester United starlet has been transformed by loan

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Playing for Manchester United at youth level is the pipe dream of any young player who grows up with dreams of one day making it in the world of professional football.

Right now, the United senior squad is stacked with talent that was nurtured in the club's illustrious academy system, and just last week Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal became the 245th and 246th academy graduates to reach the first-team, coming on as subs against Young Boys.

Their first taste of senior football could be the start of something special at Old Trafford, but the harsh reality is that even after representing the first team, very few hopefuls manage to make it a permanent promotion at such a young age.
