Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy is planning to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window. As per the sources, he has contacted Manchester United about possible loan deals to improve his team.
Leicester are struggling in the Premier League and currently sit in the relegation zone. Van Nistelrooy, who was recently appointed as manager, has not had the start he hoped for. The Foxes have lost three consecutive league matches, leaving them desperate for reinforcements.
Leicester City wants to sign Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer
One potential signing for Leicester City is Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer. Reports from CaughtOffside suggest that the 19-year-old could join the Foxes on loan in January.
Collyer is a talented young player, but he has not played regularly at the senior level. A loan spell at Leicester could give him valuable first-team experience. Van Nistelrooy believes Collyer could help the team, but some doubt his ability to handle a relegation battle.
Leicester need experienced players to fight for survival in the Premier League. Collyer could be a risk for a team facing such challenges.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy contact Manchester United to sign star player for Leicester City
Van Nistelrooy’s good relationship with Manchester United could help Leicester secure players on loan. The Dutchman had a successful spell managing PSV Eindhoven and also worked briefly as a caretaker manager at United.
He hopes to use these connections to bring in fresh talent to boost Leicester's performance. However, Van Nistelrooy will need more than loans to turn Leicester’s season around.
Leicester City must act quickly in the transfer market to avoid relegation. They need players who can make an immediate impact. While young players like Collyer offer potential, experience is key in a relegation battle.
