YOUNGSTER Toby Collyer is ready to LEAVE Manchester United - so he can prove to Ruben Amorim that he has a long-term Old Trafford future.
Midfielder Collyer, 21, made 13 appearances for United last term in his debut first-team campaign.
But with no European football for Amorim 's side this season, Collyer is prepared to go out on loan to ensure he gets the football he needs to demonstrate he has what it takes to crack it at Old Trafford.
Single-minded Collyer who walked out on Brighton as an 18-year-old to join United.
And he recalled: 'Last year was a really good season for me, in terms of experience and getting as many minutes as I did.
'The thing that annoyed me was the injuries picked up, although I feel I've learned a lot from that.
'First and foremost, I want to play as many games as possible.
'So I'll sit down with the manager and higher-ups and see what's the best solution for that, whether the best way for me to develop is staying here or going on loan.
'The end goal for me is to play as many minutes as possible here, hopefully starting every week but at this stage in my career I want to play as many games as possible.'
For now, though, Collyer is among the group of younger players who are part of Amorim's squad in Chicago and he is determined to ensure the approach of senior stars Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro rub off on him.

He added: 'When I look at Bruno and Casemiro, the main thing that both of them have is calmness, which comes with experience.
'They also speak about staying calm but also playing to my strengths.

'When you see players who make it into the first team, they all play exactly how they played at youth level.
