Forest Green, based in Gloucestershire, are currently bottom of League One, which is the third division of English football, but all parties are in agreement that a loan move away from United this January would be beneficial to Savage's progress.
Savage, 19, made his first-team debut as a late substitute in the Champions League against BSC Young Boys in December 2021.
The midfielder was also named on the bench for Ralf Rangnick’s final game in charge, a 1-0 defeat by Crystal Palace on the final day of last season, and has not featured in a competitive match day squad under Erik ten Hag.
Savage is contracted at Old Trafford until the summer of 2025.
