Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is reportedly targeting Manchester United’s rising talent Toby Collyer for a loan move this January. The Dutchman, who previously served as an assistant manager at Old Trafford, is well-acquainted with the potential within United’s ranks and appears keen on utilizing this insight to bolster his Leicester squad.
Collyer, a 20-year-old midfielder with immense promise, was touted as a breakout star during preseason. Despite his standout performances, he has struggled for game time this season under Erik ten Hag, making only a handful of appearances before being sidelined by injury. Now, with a loan move on the cards, Collyer could reignite his season at the King Power Stadium under Van Nistelrooy’s guidance.
Described as “freakish” for his physical and technical abilities, Collyer’s move to Leicester would offer him the opportunity to gain valuable first-team experience while filling a vital role in Van Nistelrooy’s squad. The Foxes are looking to strengthen their midfield as they push for a return to the Premier League’s upper echelons.
This potential deal could be a win-win for both clubs, with Manchester United benefiting from Collyer’s development and Leicester gaining a dynamic addition to their midfield lineup. As the January transfer window approaches, fans will be eager to see if Van Nistelrooy can successfully land this exciting young talent.
