West Bromwich Albion are in talks with Manchester United over the possibility of Toby Collyer's permanent return to The Hawthorns. According to information from England, the negotiation stage is still early but the Baggies are clearly interested in bringing back the 22-year-old midfielder who once impressed them as a loanee. Collyer has been with United's first team for parts of pre-season and got minutes in the second half of a recent match against Leeds United at Croke Park. At that time, Mason Mount was absent due to an injury so the young midfielder was given the opportunity to show his moves in the middle. However, throughout the summer Collyer was also expected to leave Old Trafford in search of more regular playing time. Collyer first joined West Brom on loan last year and registered 12 games, including three starts, before being sent back to Manchester United in January. From there, he moved to Hull City after recovering from a calf injury. But the Tigers only managed five games as he again experienced conditioning issues, making a longer stay there not entirely sealed.

There are reports that Hull are also interested in bringing Collyer back after his short stint at the club, but so far no concrete deal has been drawn up. On the other hand, West Brom's direction is clearer: they see the permanent acquisition of Collyer as adding depth to the midfield, especially since he is already familiar with the environment of The Hawthorns and the challenge of the Championship. For Collyer, a permanent move could provide a more definite and continuous path to his development. At 22, he needs regular minutes to hone his control in the middle, reading the game, and contributing to the defense and release of the ball. In the Championship, the schedule is usually heavy and intensive, so it is good to have a clear role in a team where the coach has confidence in him. For Manchester United, this possible deal is part of a wider overhaul of their depth chart in midfield, while also allowing the young player to gain greater responsibility in a different environment. At the moment, talks between West Brom and United on the details of the contract remain "early". Expect more progress in the coming days, especially as the more serious phase of the teams' preparations for the new campaign approaches. Until a final announcement is made, West Brom and Collyer will remain anxiously awaiting the outcome of the negotiations—whether it results in a permanent move that could serve as an important step in his career and the Baggies' ambitions to be competitive in the Championship.

What's next

While negotiations are still at an early stage, talks between West Brom and Manchester United are expected to continue. If an agreement can be reached, Collyer could be involved in the Baggies' pre-season preparations. On the other hand, Hull City should also consider their options in case Collyer's return to their club does not go through.
