It’s reported that Erik ten Hag adores Toby Collyer, a youthful midfield player.
The Manchester United Football Club has never hesitated to provide emerging players with top-tier opportunities. Their DNA contains it.
That motto has been upheld by Erik ten Hag. Ask Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho. It was Toby Collyer’s moment to shine this summer.
As soon as the teenage midfielder took on the pitch during preseason, he looked completely at home in the middle of the park. Since then, he has been a constant in and around the first-team group.
The Manchester Evening News has now updated readers on Collyer, citing people who appear to be in direct contact with the situation.
Despite originally going unnoticed, they claim that Collyer has been a “leading prospect” at Carrington since joining the team in 2022.
Ten Hag’really likes’ the young United player, who is receiving acclaim for his ‘freakish’ running figures that are only surpassed by Bruno Fernandes, according to a source. That’s rather high praise all by itself.
Last weekend, Collyer made his first-team debut against Liverpool, and while the outcome wasn’t ideal, he had a solid individual showing. He was, in my opinion, the best outfield player to play for United that day.
The young midfield player’s future is certain after he was rewarded with a new contract during the summer. But with Manuel Ugarte signed, he could have to wait a bit longer. Long term, I envision Collyer going up against the Uruguayan head-to-head, especially if and when Casemiro leaves.
In any case, hearing how well Collyer is doing at the moment is encouraging.
