Championship frontrunners Hull City are reportedly seeking a loan deal for Manchester United’s young talent Toby Collyer following his return to Old Trafford.
The Tigers are in talks with United about signing the midfielder, who spent the first half of the season on loan at West Brom before being recalled by Ruben Amorim, and may decide to send the promising player back to the second tier.
“We have an option to bring Collyer from Man United, so we will see,” Jakirovic told Hull Live. “We spoke already this summer. It was a very nice conversation together with Jonny Evans at that time, who was the loan manager (at United), but at that time, he chose West Brom, which is OK I respect that.
“Maybe he didn’t believe that we would have a good season, and have a good team. It was tricky back then, when you have an embargo, you cannot bring the players. Also, you must look after yourself because you need the minutes, and maybe in our team it’s easier to get the minutes.”
