On July 22, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag backed the 20-year-old Collier, hinting that he might be promoted to the first team in the new season.
In the final four rounds of the 2023-24 season, Collier was included in Manchester United’s substitute list to complete the squad. Indeed, Ten Hag has high hopes for Collier. After Manchester United defeated Manchester City to win the FA Cup, Ten Hag had an in-depth conversation with Collier during the post-match celebrations. Collier also got playing time in both of Manchester United’s recently concluded preseason matches.
When discussing Collier, Ten Hag expressed his expectations: “You all know that I always create opportunities for young players, and what you need to do is seize them. Collier has now earned his chance; he has started in the preseason games, which is great. Let’s see how he progresses from here. Last year, we saw what happened with Garnacho and Meunier, and now this path will be open to other players as well.”
