The England U20 international, hailed as âexcellentâ by Rio Ferdinand, played just five times for the Tigers, making one start and accumulating 104 minutes on the pitch.

Alas, it remains to be seen what United will choose to do with Collyer, whom they signed from Brighton and Hove Albionâs academy in 2022.
