Manchester United is preparing for an important month as they look to strengthen their squad. Following a disappointing draw with Wolves, the team’s focus will shift to their upcoming match against Leeds, a crucial fixture against a rival.
- The club has recently recalled midfielder Toby Collyer from his loan at West Bromwich Albion.
- Collyer made 12 appearances in the Championship before returning to Manchester for rehabilitation after an injury.
