I watched the game yesterday over the course of a long weekend, and I have to admit, this boy is very excellent. You know, Ten Hag has this amazing gift, and he was hesitant to use it last season. Erik Ten Hag is advised by former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to begin playing this young player if he hopes to contend for the league title the followings season
Collyer’s standout performances against Rosenborg and Rangers demonstrate his potential as a vital player for United. His defensive prowess and crucial passing ability have gained him significant trust from Ten Hag, evidenced by his captaincy in the second half against Rosenborg and his starting position against Rangers.
As United prepares for the new season, Collyer’s emergence is timely. With the potential departures of midfield mainstays like Casemiro and Eriksen, and interest in Scott McTominay, Collyer has a clear opportunity to secure a place in the squad. The anticipated signing of Manuel Ugarte could also provide him with a valuable mentor.
The upcoming Europa League, Carabao Cup, and FA Cup matches will give Collyer plenty of chances to cement his position in the team. His disciplined play style could address United’s midfield issues from last season and enhance their defensive solidity.
Collyer’s rise underscores the strength of United’s academy and the opportunities for young talents to flourish under Erik ten Hag’s leadership.
