Toby Collyer is another United ace who was tipped for a loan move but it looks like he is set to play a crucial role under manager Ruben Amorim.

The Athletic reported that United have ‘no plans to send Collyer on loan this month’.

Collyer made his first appearance since Amorim’s arrival in Sunday’s thrilling FA Cup victory over Arsenal.

He came on as a substitute in the 81st minute for Kobbie Mainoo.

Diogo Dalot’s sending-off meant United were down to 10 men and required fresh legs to shore up the midfield.

Amorim had the option to bring on Casemiro or Christian Eriksen but he put his faith in Collyer.

It was a big message to the veteran duo who have been in ‘unconvincing form’.

Collyer won his only tackle and made three clearances.

He was not dribbled past even once and made supporting attacking runs during transitions.

His 7/10 performance has pleased the hierarchy, who see him as having a bright future.

Collyer has shown great character and fighting spirit in his appearances against key rivals.

Former head coach Erik ten Hag handed him his Premier League debut in extremely tough circumstances.

He was sent on against Liverpool at the break for Casemiro when United were 2-0 down.

The midfielder did not allow Arsenal to enjoy numerical superiority by covering every blade of grass.

Amorim demands physicality and intensity from his midfielders.

These two traits are the strengths of Collyer and he could establish himself as a key midfield cog over the next six months.
