Manchester United secured a 2-1 win over Rangers in the UEFA Europa League thanks to a late goal from Bruno Fernandes. However, it was the performance of 21-year-old midfielder Toby Collyer that truly caught the attention of fans.
Manchester United fans have called on manager Ruben Amorim to retain faith in Toby Collyer after the 21-year-old midfielder delivered a stellar performance against Rangers in the UEFA Europa League. United were gifted the lead in the second half following a comical own goal by Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland. However, the Red Devils held on for a 2-1 victory, with captain Bruno Fernandes sealing the deal in stoppage time.
Collyer, starting at the heart of Amorim's midfield, impressed fans with his composure and passing range. Social media exploded with praise for the academy product, with many calling for him to become a regular starter. One fan tweeted: 'Toby Collyer has had an excellent game tonight..hopefully the first start of many.' Another remarked: 'Toby Collyer has really played like an experienced CDM today...the midfielder future is bright.' A further comment read: 'I think Toby Collyer should always start in matches where composure is needed in the midfield. The more he plays, the more his confidence grows.' Even OptaJoe, a prominent football statistics account, recognized Collyer's performance, stating that he became 'the first Manchester United midfielder on record (since 2003-04) to record 50+ passes on their first appearance at Old Trafford in major European competition while also maintaining a pass accuracy of at least 94%'. Amorim himself has expressed his confidence in Collyer, saying: 'Toby doesn't need help, if I'm honest. He is a great kid, a great example of a professional. He comes from the academy and knows his place, knows how much he wants to get into the positions of other players. He trains very well every week, trains at the maximum. He's a really good kid who wants to learn. He's eager to listen and he has big, big qualities. He's aggressive off the ball, he's aggressive with the ball, he's class in tight spaces, and is just going to get better.' This impressive display against Rangers has solidified Collyer's position as a rising star at Manchester United and has fans eagerly anticipating his future contributions to the club.
