CHARLIE SAVAGE was beaming after getting the chance to train alongside superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Manchester United teen star, 19, tweeted a picture of himself with Ronaldo at the club's Carrington training ground on Tuesday.

Savage tweeted: "Always learning" accompanied by a grinning face with smiling eyes.

The Welsh starlet is the son of TV pundit and ex-Premier League star Robbie.

Ex-Leicester, Blackburn, Birmingham and Derby midfielder Savage quipped on social media in reply to a video of the pair walking out for training and Ronaldo offering some advice.

Savage senior predicted what Ronaldo was saying to his son when he joked: "Your dad used to kick me."

Savage was handed his Red Devils debut by interim boss Ralf Rangnick in the 1-1 Champions League draw with Young Boys at Old Trafford back in December.

Savage Jnr has been tipped to receive a Wales training call-up this summer.

Despite reports which said Ronaldo could leave the club in the event of not qualifying for Champions League football, Ronaldo is set be a key part of Erik ten Hag's United next season.

On the legendary forward, Ten Hag said: "At United, there are a lot of good players. We have to make them function as a team, but definitely Ronaldo — he is a giant."

Ronaldo, who was spotted playing golf on Sunday, was also boisterous on the prospect of working with the Dutchman next season.

He said: "What I know about [Ten Hag] is he did a fantastic job for Ajax, that he's an experienced coach, but we need to give him time.

"Things need to change the way he wants. I hope we have success, of course, because, if you have success, all of Manchester is going to have success as well. I wish him the best.

"We are happy and excited, not only as players, but the supporters as well. I wish him the best and let's believe that, next year, we are going to win trophies."
