Last year, after winning the Carabao Cup final, we saw Erik ten Hag in deep conversation with upstart Kobbie Mainoo. He said the words “your day will come, and we’re going to win trophies together.” This year it was Toby Collyer, after the FA Cup final. Ten Hag was pictured in similar fashion to last year, could history repeat itself with yet another midfielder breaking into Erik ten Hag’s starting 11?

Even if he could save us 30m that would be huge. Academy players don’t always have to be star players or wonder kids.

Fully agree. Academy lads should be the backbone of the supporting cast at United.

Well said. The likes of Phil Neville, Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, Danny Welbeck are all part of United folklore. If Lingard had been a squad player rather than a first team regular, we'd all probably love him.

[@harveysmith100]

I have been watching Kobbie in a match, focusing just on him. He makes it all look so simple but if you watch him, he constantly moves to find space to receive the ball so when he gets it, he appears to have all the time in the world. No, he created that time. If he gets marked he constantly scans to see where they are, he has a plan if he receives the ball to wrong foot them. He has clearly be drilled so well.

[@cameronjones8641]

He is astonishingly good. He reminds me of those players who never seemed to lose the ball and were always two steps ahead of everyone else. Davids or Seedorf.

[@craigharriott5080]

Wheatley is not going to cut it.

[@nsubugakasozi7101]

Toby is a DM more like carrick who reads the game rather than someone like casemiro who is a destroyer. His secret strength is his 2 footed passing and being really secure in the first phase...he can save us the money we would spend on amrabat because amrabat is really good in possession but is slow out of it. Toby can cover that amrabat role

[@Doctor_Kroom]

Well said. Tobey is more physical than Carrick as well, he can even play Centerback.

[@CRsiuuuu]

could be a great partner to compliment Kobbie. Not straight away, but planning for the next seasons to come

[@neilmoore5387]

Toby was given the captains armband at half time earlier in the week in that pre season defeat. Handed by Casemiro on ETH insistence. Has a good preseason he will get game time next season.

[@neilmoore5387]

Carrick was world class. To think that abuse he used to suffer😂. Was a class act Don’t play 10 plus years in Uniteds’ engine room alongside Scholesy if you’re shit. Just glad most came to love him by the last few seasons. It was mainly the idiots who slagged him off 👍🏼 I’d be chuffed if Collyer turned out anywhere as good or similar player like Carrick

[@Imbatman257]

I still can’t believe United have not approached Ste to join the scouting department. He’s videos are always informative, researched very well and he finds Gems. I think United is missing out on his knowledge. Hope one day you do get there Steven 🇿🇦

[@raymondmassie4898]

The video he did the other day showing the players he’d highlighted that we didn’t go for then became big names was eye catching

[@foundermodel]

Was Waiting for this on Collyer

[@chrissilvester5663]

Can definitely see Collyer & Amass having breakthrough seasons next season. Both have been involved in the first team a long time now & Ten Hag has been very complimentary towards them. Hopefully we'll see Dan Gore more involved aswell. Another talent Jack Fletcher & Odeyele I've got high hopes for aswell

[@Sickofdrawingcowboys717]

Be lucky if even one of them gets minutes tbh

[@chrissilvester5663]

@@Sickofdrawingcowboys717 Considering that Ten Hag is known to give youngsters oppertunities I see no reason why they can't get minutes but hey keep up the positivity man

[@neilmoore5387]

Spot on Ste Great prospect. I always used to pinpoint on Scholesy. Seeing how he ghosted into space, head on a swivel , knowing the space he was in , first touch and one and two touch passing , slowing down and stepping up the tempo of the game. That legend was always 3 steps in front. You don’t see all or even 1/4 of that on telly. 🔴⚪️⚫️

[@thebizness5596]

Another big thank you for Ralf Ragnicks super talent ID. He brought Toby Collyer in from Brighton when he was there. I believe it was the only signing the club made out of his suggestions.

[@stephenbadman697]

Great to see so many good young players coming through. The future is very positive.

[@johndillinger5142]

Do appreciate these ste, I thought your idea with the excess ground or old facilities to do more for youth have wee cup's and stuff would take us next level and keep sir Matt's beliefs flowing through further generations.

[@kitsomochankana3493]

I also hope to see Wheatley, Dan gore, oyedele, fletcher and amass be given some game time next season. Oyedele and Collyer are gonna be an interesting pair considering they play the same position

[@theuni_miner4371]

Garnacho, Mainoo and now Collyer. I'm ready for it. Bring it on lad.

[@IamFirtyDucker]

Gotta hope he’s a Mainoo level talent based on the players we’re linked with

[@hlumelobottoman2627]

Been watching him , his head's on a swivel 24/7. Massively underrated

[@orlandomorales509]

So far (playing on the tour) I didn't see anything special on this kid, I hope he can have the opportunity to show his quality

[@user-fe7rb6xu8w]

Collyer is a great little player good midfielder and plays well in defence one to watch

[@ciaran4579]

I feel this is a big season for Toby, if he isn't in the squad for next season or loaned to a team in a top league

[@andrewsfiindje9194]

Oyedele and Dan Gore are one to watch in the midfield. Oyedele plays like Camavinga and he's a good player with a pace.

[@sbhh2]

He was on the bench most of the games in the 2nd half of the season, so ive been wondering when we gonna see him play and i hope we gonna see him alot this summer and hopefully his at a level where he can play som first team games next season aswell.

[@pjo1974]

Seen him a few times for the U21s and he never stops running, works really hard for the team. Solid DM but didn’t see the passing skills of carrick. Players can improve the technical side so his energy might be enough to get a chance and let’s hope he takes it

[@thebizness5596]

I’ve heard he has crazy legs too but players dont improve technically passed the ages of 14.

Gore, Oyedele, Fletcher, Mainoo plus Ugarte will be interesting to see in the midfield.

Pretty sure Ste did one on Harry a couple of months ago. Worth searching in the channel for

[@Judas08]

Man United never failed producing a Midfielder and Attacker. They failed producing a Top Class CB. So they should focus on signing a CB. Last time a proper CB comes out from Academy was Jonny Evans. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jktekkerz8735]

Dan Gore has to be given a chance. And quick!!

[@Ace-wp7ld]

Collyer sounds like technically he could play 6 alot better than mctominay and do the physical stuff that erickson can’t. If Casemiro goes and i think he should we need a starter but im happy to let this kid be back up if we don’t keep amrabat who i thought did well when he played at 6.

[@damian12vdb]

Reckon you could do a report on Maxi Oyedele ?

[@mnb9162]

Whenever I have seen Collyer he lacks natural vision forward He would almost blindly play it back/sideways See if he has developed in pre-season But if he hasn't got the picture in his head then he can't be anywhere near the midfield

[@jamesnewhill]

Sorry mate but Collyer isn't United standard yes he is 20 but we have much better academy players in his position already

There's a tidy kid coming through. Goes by the name Sylvan Ebanks-Blake. He's pretty good. Scores a lot of goals. And a couple of years behind him, there's a top prospect named Febian Brandy. Lads will go far.

[@NubisKubis-gc9if]

Shea Lacey - 175cm, Tobey Collyer - 175cm, Dan Gore 175cm. Are these kids not getting good nutrient or something? So many short players coming out the academy. Mainoo and Garnacho are also around the same height.

[@dalitsobanda7658]

Is Lacey like 16, and collyer like 17? They still have 4-7 years more in which they can grow. Plus genetics play a role. They are all around the world average for men’s height and will probably grow taller

[@dalitsobanda7658]

My bad Toby is older, my mind blanked

hey Steph do you know about Oyedele, not t take nothing away from Toby, but Oyedele is good man, might be better than Toby

[@user-zc2sz1os3j]

Not as technical I don't think.

[@Doctor_Kroom]

He is more box to box and might need a loan spell to learn positioning and improve scanning, if he is to be played as a sole DM. Colyer is more developed in this regard and comes with the added bonus of being able to dictate the game and two-footed passing.

[@rishikamath6718]
