INEOS encountered plenty of problems when trying to move Manchester United first team stars on, so they instead let go of numerous academy graduates this summer.
The likes of Toby Collyer, Louis Jackson, James Overy, James Scanlon, and Habeeb Ogunneye were all sold, and a few deals were justified.
But it came as a surprise to see the Red Devils part ways with Louie Bradbury, considering he had signed his first professional deal less than three weeks ago.
The Wales Under-19 international was on fire last season, scoring 10 times in all competitions, including twice for the Under-21s, despite being only 16 at the time.

West Bromwich Albion have signed midfielder Toby Collyer from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old, who has signed a four-year contract, spent the first half of last season at The Hawthorns, making 12 Championship appearances before moving to Hull City and helping them win promotion to the Premier League.
He is Albion's ninth summer signing so far, following new arrivals including Jimmy-Jay Morgan and Conor Townsend at the club.
Collyer made 13 appearances for Manchester United in all competitions during the 2024-25 season.
He made his competitive debut in their 3-0 home defeat by Liverpool in September 2024.

Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer is set to join Championship outfit West Brom, where he had a spell on loan last season.
United have agreed an initial fee of £3m for the 22-year-old, but the overall package with add-ons is worth £7.6m.
In addition, the transfer is subject to a 40% sell-on.
Collyer had been choosing between West Brom and Hull, where he was also on loan during 2025/26. Initially, West Brom seemed to be favourites, then it looked like Hull were going to win the race.
Finally, it seems Collyer has been persuaded to move to the Hawthorns by Baggies boss James Morrison.

Hull City have established their interest in signing Toby Collyer, despite the Manchester United youngster being on the verge of joining West Bromwich Albion.
That's according to Alex Crook, who adds that Hull are keen on bringing the midfielder back to the MKM Stadium following his brief loan spell last season.

Collyer spent the first half of 2025/2026 with the Baggies, making 12 appearances (three as a starter) before sustaining a significant calf injury in the winter that ended his stint prematurely.
He went back to his parent club to recover at Carrington, and, by January, United had opted to officially recall him from his loan.

Football chiefs will consider whether to push for a vote of no confidence on Gianni Infantino following another another day of drastic developments surrounding the embattled Fifa president.
But Infantino's game-breaking Fifa Forward Enterprise plan is described as "not dead yet", with the Swiss official still pushing on with his controversial plans after the global governing body issued another round of "clarifications" overnight.
Sources have even spoken of Infantino continuing on in the office as normal. Meanwhile, many outside his decreasingly small circle are highly curious as to what he is "feeling" right now, as a previously invulnerable position has been left so exposed in a matter of days.

Above anything, it's remarkable to think a Fifa president can continue when the most powerful continent have boycotted the World Cup, in Uefa, and two other confederations have at least prepared the ground to follow.

Manchester United will have to take a call on the futures of several academy graduates who have returned from loan spells.
While the likes of Dan Gore and Jacob Devaney are itching to impress Michael Carrick and stake a claim for first-team inclusion, there are others for whom this might be the end of the road.
Toby Collyer, who endured two injury-hit loan spells in the Championship, might end up departing, many feel that Radek Vitek could follow the same path.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a stunning loan spell with Bristol City, playing 41 times and keeping 12 clean sheets.
So impressed were the fans and his teammates that the goalkeeper was named their Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year.

Manchester United have plans of revamping their midfield with as many as three new arrivals expected to offset the loss of a similar number of players
Casemiro is on his way to Major League Soccer, while INEOS are keen to cut their losses regarding Manuel Ugarte.
Academy sensation Toby Collyer could also depart, and the Red Devils are working hard to fill the gaps.
United have already agreed a fee with Atalanta for Ederson, while the co-owners are working to secure the signings of either Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali, or Elliot Anderson.
West Ham’s asking price and Real Madrid’s entry have complicated the chase for the Portuguese midfielder, while the Italian’s price and wage demands are currently proving prohibitive.
