Toby became a regular in the Red Devils’ PL2 team in the 2022/23 term and featured in United’s EFL Trophy fixtures against Barrow, Fleetwood and Bolton Wanderers.
The youngster’s displays earned him opportunities to impress in first-team pre-season friendlies during the summer of 2023. He started as Manchester United took on Wrexham in the United States of America in late July, before going on to develop further in the PL2 side across the course of that year.
His competitive debut wasn’t too far away. He was introduced to the action on the hour mark of United’s Community Shield clash with rivals Manchester City at Wembley in August 2024. After a 1-1 draw, City claimed a 7-6 win on penalties, but it will be a day Toby will never forget.
Three weeks later, he was making his Premier League debut at Old Trafford in one of the biggest fixtures in English football. Collyer came on at the start of the second period against Liverpool, replacing Brazil legend Casemiro in the middle of midfield. Sadly for Albion’s new man, United went on to lose 3-0 that day.
