20yo Man Utd starlet 'open' to transfer exit this month, Ten Hag 'really liked' him - report
Manchester United urgently need to bolster their squad during the ongoing transfer window.
They have to sell first to make financial headroom due to Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
According to the Manchester Evening News, Toby Collyer is open to a transfer to a Championship club this month if a suitable offer emerges.
Collyer broke through under former manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman reportedly ‘really liked‘ the 20-year-old.
He was tipped to feature prominently in the first team this season. This expectation grew after his confident performance in the 3-0 loss to Liverpool, where he replaced Casemiro at half-time.
His composed display in the heart of midfield suggested he could be a dependable presence for the team moving forward.
The youngster played the full 90 minutes in the 7-0 victory over Barnsley in the League Cup.
However, an unfortunate injury halted his progress, sidelining him for more than two months.
Manager Ruben Amorim has included him in the past four matchday squads but has yet to give him any time on the pitch.
With Mason Mount’s ongoing injury troubles and the declining performances of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, United need to revitalise their midfield.
Eriksen is in the final year of his current contract and looks set to leave the club in the summer.
The Red Devils are ready to part ways with Casemiro and are waiting for offers from Saudi Pro League clubs.
Collyer could make a name for himself under Amorim, considering his athleticism and ability to press.
However, a lucrative offer from Championship clubs could tempt him to consider a transfer.
