This was the very magic-like scenario that happened for former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage in Old Tuffford on Wednesday.
The former Leicester player Blackburn and Birmingham was working as assistant conglomer to Manchester United 1-1 with Young Boys in the Champions League match, the BBC reports.
Then, in the minute of 89, his 18-year-old son came into play as a replacement for Juan Matan in the presence of 73 thousand people.
It was a very emotional moment for Savage and the audience to hear what he was feeling right now, as BT commentator left his word.
It's appropriate that now I retire and allow you to introduce your son for his debut with Manchester United,” told Fletcher.
Savage replied: “and, in play for Manchester United is entering Charlie Savage replacing Juan Matan. I never believed I'd say those words. What a moment of pride for my son. All that big work. What a day for me, his mother, his grandmother, his grandparents, and the most important thing for himself. ”
I'm very proud of him, Darren. It's a great time for him. ”
Charlie, who plays in the same midfield position as his father, signed the first professional contract with Manchester United in April.
