Manchester United made it clear that Toby Collyer was not available in a Carlos Baleba -Swap -deal with the midfielder instead ready to go to West Brom on loan
Manchester United is close to punishing the departure of Toby Collyer with the midfielder who would temporarily add to West Brom after Brighton was told that he would not be used in a deal for Carlos Baleba.
The Red Devils have announced their interest in the Cameroon -Midfielder, but the seagulls want about £ 100 million before they punish his departure. It is unlikely that these types of funds are available in Old Trafford in view of their Summer Spree.
It was suggested that United Collyer could use to lower the price tag of Baleba, but according to Manchester Event News he will not be involved in negotiations.
Instead, the 21-year-old will join the baggies while he wants to help their championship promotion Push and his own personal development, reports athletics. The will of Harvey Barnes exceeded earlier after having spent time on loan on the Hawthorns.
Several clubs of the second layer were enthusiastic about Collyer, but West Brom, where Ryan Mason is now a manager, seems to have won the race, so that Brighton's hope has to sign the midfielder again.
The United Star was part of their journey for the season to the United States and admitted that he was ready to talk to club bosses about what was best for all parties. “I sit down with the manager and higher ups and see what is the best solution for that. The best way for me to develop, whether it stays here or goes on loan,” he said.
Collyer came through the ranks in Brighton before he left in 2022 and those in Manchester were surprised when the chance to sign him came up. He was considered one of the best midfielders in his age group and United seized the opportunity to break him.
Collyer was born in Worthing, just 10 miles from Brighton, and was destined for a place in the first team on the Amex until he was released. Ruben Amorim's system in Manchester only allows two midfielders to play – and one is probably Captain and Talisman Bruno Fernandes.
The central midfielder made 19 first team for United last season. His most memorable contribution came in the January victory in Fulham when he cleaned up the ball from De Lijn to get a 1-0 win.
