''That'' is optional after say,which is often written in a bracket in dictionaries.check oxford learner dictionary.So putting that is not wrong.It acts as a connector.View the link below.

Some verbs can be followed by the indirect object and then the direct object. For example, we can say I gave John the book. John is the indirect object and book is the direct object. However, we can’t do this with all verbs. Recommend, explain, and describe are three common verbs that take the following form:

recommend/explain/describe + what + to whom

We explained the situation to the client. (Correct).
We explained the client the situation.(Incorrect).

Could you describe the problem to our IT manager?(Correct).
Could you describe our IT manager the problem?(Incorrect).
