MANCHESTER UNITED are open to letting four more players leave before Tuesday’s transfer deadline day – plus Charlie Savage.
As exclusively revealed by SunSport, Robbie Savage’s son will join Forest Green Rovers on loan for the remainder of the season.
That is despite a change of management, with Duncan Ferguson the new boss at the eco-friendly League One basement boys.
But according to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are keen for another quartet of their rising stars to go out on loan to gain first-team action.
Erik ten Hag does not plan to use the youngsters in his team in their quest to secure Champions League football next term.
And therefore the players are in talks to secure temporary exits away from Old Trafford.

Charlie McNeill has caught the eye of a number of League One and League Two sides and will join a club that can guarantee him regular minutes.
The 19-year-old striker went on a work experience loan to Sheffield Wednesday last season which permitted him to train but not play official matches.
Defenders Di’Shon Bernard and Bjorn Hardley are in a similar position to McNeill and are keen to get some action to continue their development.
United will only allow the duo loan moves if minutes are secured – but could even sell them if the right offer came in.

Lastly, Zidane Iqbal is another exciting talent gaining plenty of attention.
Iqbal made his first-team debut in the Champions League draw with Young Boys in December 2021 as Ralf Rangnick also brought Savage, Shola Shoretire and Teden Mengi off the bench – plus veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
Iqbal has not played since but now trains with the first-team stars and is considered part of the senior squad.
Ten Hag only has five midfielders more experienced than Iqbal available for the rest of the season following Donny van de Beek’s injury – and therefore is reluctant to risk being left short as the club targets silverware.
