Man Utd midfielder Collyer set for West Brom loan

Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer is on the verge of joining West Bromwich Albion on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old former Brighton academy player made 13 first-team appearances for United last season.

He also went on the club's pre-season tour of the United States this summer.

However, with increased competition for places in Ruben Amorim's squad, and no European football this season, the United hierarchy decided with Collyer it would be better to further his education away from Old Trafford.

Collyer has received a number of offers, including from Sheffield Wednesday, and it had not completely been discounted that he could move on a permanent basis.

But it has been decided a loan to West Brom is the most favourable option and Collyer is expected to complete the move imminently.
