科利尔曼联未来将面临重大决策

Amid all the talk of central midfield signings, the future of Toby Collyer is an interesting talking point.

Collyer came out of the 2024-25 campaign having made a big impression and the intention was for the England youth international to go out on loan to further his footballing education and, potentially, fight for a first-team berth this term.

Frustratingly, a calf injury wrecked the end of what had been an encouraging spell at West Brom in the first half of the season, then a hamstring problem prevented him from making an early impact at Hull City, before an ankle injury ruled him out of the end of the season and the play-off final victory over Middlesbrough.

Clearly, the 22-year-old impressed Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic when he was available though, because the Bosnian is keen to have him back, believing if Collyer gets a full pre-season behind him, he can have an impact in the Premier League.

Collyer signed a contract in 2024 at Old Trafford that runs to 2027, with the option of a further year.

Given his status, it would be no surprise if United sanctioned a permanent move away from the club, be it to Hull or somewhere else.
