Toby Collyer highlights importance of Darren Fletcher in his Man Utd journey
The central midfielder was also shown around the former first-team building at the Lower Broughton site, where Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson honed some of the club’s greatest-ever players and teams.
Retreading his own path from Brighton’s youth ranks to starting big European games at Old Trafford, Collyer recalled how Fletcher had welcomed him on his first day, back in 2022.
“I signed and I remember I saw Darren Fletcher,” Toby said. “He came and spoke to me, which was obviously a big thing, because he’s a player who I’d say I play like.
“So to see him come and speak to me gave me great confidence and the belief that I could achieve things at this club.”
