Hull City have joined the race to sign Toby Collyer from Manchester United, with the midfielder emerging as a potential departure before the transfer window closes.
Collyer spent the second half of last season with Hull City and could now return to the Tigers on a permanent basis.
Softfootball understands that West Bromwich Albion have also held talks over a potential move for the Manchester United midfielder.
Manchester United currently favour a permanent exit for Collyer as they continue to reshape their squad and make decisions over players who are not guaranteed regular first-team opportunities.
Hull’s renewed interest comes just days after the Tigers stunned Manchester United with a 2-0 victory. The defeat highlights United’s defensive frailties from set pieces and raises questions about their attacking sharpness. For Hull, it was a dream return to the Premier League.
Despite United dominating possession (70%) and firing 20 shots, they lacked cutting edge in attack. Marcus Rashford’s introduction at halftime added urgency, but Hull’s disciplined defense held firm to secure three points.
United entered the fixture as favourites but struggled to cope with Hull’s intensity and aerial threat. Ajayi opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a powerful header from a corner before Mendy doubled Hull’s advantage shortly before half-time with another headed finish from a set-piece.
Semi Ajayi has been ncluded in the english premier league tem of the week, following his astonishing performance agasinst manchester united.
Semi Ajayi and Nobel mendy were selected because of their performance against manchester united when they defeated manchester united 2:0.
With Hull now competing directly for Collyer’s signature and West Brom also involved, the midfielder’s future at Old Trafford is increasingly uncertain.
