Ruben Amorim's arrival has reportedly led to one transfer being prevented from happening at Manchester United.

Back in October, after United fell to a 2-1 defeat against West Ham United at the London Stadium, Dutchman Erik ten Hag was sacked.

39-year-old Portuguese Amorim was chosen to be the successor after his impressive record at Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Since then, Amorim has led United to positive results against Manchester City and Liverpool.

Over the weekend, United sealed their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup after beating Arsenal via a tense penalty shootout.

During the match, Amorim brought on 21-year-old Toby Collyer in the 81st minute, replacing Kobbie Mainoo.

Collyer impressed with his energy and aggressive tackling, leading to a potential change of mind within the club.

Originally, there were reports that Collyer could be allowed to leave on loan to gain more experience with clubs in the Championship linked.

However, as reported by The Athletic, United now have no plans to loan out the youngster.

The report stated: "The midfielder’s contract expires in June 2027, with the option of an extra year. The club has no plans to loan him out this month and, given the unconvincing form of Eriksen and Casemiro, Collyer could feature in more matches.

"He is not yet the finished product. Like many others within United’s current squad, Collyer is still learning the intricacies of what their head coach requires, both on and off the ball."

Speaking after the match against Arsenal, Amorim said: "It was really important because [it] gives us more strength, and then with less one player, he's really hard to press.

"It's really hard to press a team like Arsenal with 11 players, imagine with 10 players, and then you are in [a] disadvantage, [it] is really hard because they can control the ball. They were already controlling the ball in a lot of moments. So it was vital to win the game, to draw the game."
