It is a claim that few have refuted, but has since been backed up by Charlie Savage – who left United in the summer for League One side Reading. Savage, the son of former United and Wales midfielder Robbie Savage, insisted that the facilities in the third division were every bit as good as what he was used to at United during his first interview as a Reading player in the summer.<\/p>\n
“Reading’s training ground- I heard it was good but I didn\u2019t realise it was this good,\u201d Savage told Reading\u2019s official YouTube channel. “Honestly, I’d say it’s on par with United at the minute.”<\/p>\n

Don’t miss… <\/strong> For a club the size of United to be on par with the likes of Reading will cause alarm, as Ronaldo\u2019s words appear to have rung true. Ronaldo, Savage and club icon Gary Neville all seem to be on the same page after the former United right-back also lamented the investment from the current owners.<\/p>\n “In 20 years, Manchester United have not invested in the stadium, and they’ve not invested in the training ground that much,\u201d Neville previously said. \u201cIt’s a club that’s really struggling and I’ve said in the last couple of years that the only thing I think can change it now is the ownership. There is an embedded rot at the club.<\/p>\n “They’ve still not dealt with the football operation; they’ve still not dealt with the player and recruitment department; they’ve still not dealt with the stadium which is rusting and needs massive money spent on it. Manchester United need a billion pounds in this next two-three years to either rebuild or renovate that stadium.”<\/p>\n Watch one of the biggest crossover fights of the year on DAZN as KSI and Logan Paul face off against the opponants in Manchester on October 14th.<\/p>\n It costs \u00a320.99 and you also get to enjoy DAZN for the rest of the month for just \u00a31 thanks to a special deal.<\/p>\n The Pay-per-view costs \u00a320.99 and you’ll be able to enjoy all the action on the night.<\/p>\n
