Manchester United academy graduate Toby Collyer has not been able to get his career back on track out on loan.

Under Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, it seemed as though Toby Collyer was at the start of a very promising Manchester United career.

Amorim even admitted that Collyer was ahead of Casemiro in his midfield pecking order at United temporarily, before the Brazilian returned to form.

Last summer, Collyer joined West Brom on loan but his temporary stay was cut short when United recalled him to Carrington to help rehabilitate an injury.

In January, Collyer joined Hull City in another loan deal, with United staff hopeful he could play a part in their promotion push and gain priceless first-team experience.

Toby Collyer suffers new injury at Hull City

Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic was excited by Collyer’s arrival in January, but the 22-year-old now faces another injury hurdle.

According to Hull Live, fresh injury scans have revealed damage to Collyer’s hamstring which is set to rule him out for multiple weeks.

Collyer only made his debut last Saturday in a 14-minute cameo against Bristol City. He was expected to play a part in Hull’s FA Cup clash against Chelsea before suffering an injury in the build-up.

It seems the United loanee will now have to return to the treatment room and be patient before getting his next chance in the Hull line-up.

Collyer’s loan deal is set to run until the end of the season, so he is expected to stay in Yorkshire and treat his injury with Hull.

Man United overhaul is going to put Toby Collyer out of sight

It is no secret that United’s top priority in 2026 is overhauling their midfield department with one or two high-profile signings.

It seems likely that Ineos will shop around the Premier League for proven stars, with Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton and now Sandro Tonali all linked as potential targets.

If United qualify for the Champions League, Ineos will have even more money to invest in midfield, and this all spells bad news for Collyer.

Breaking back into the United side is going to be an incredibly difficult task, especially after two injury-plagued loan spells.

With Kobbie Mainoo back to his best under Michael Carrick, Collyer has a mountain to climb to regain his first-team spot.
