The Dutchman, who took charge of the Foxes last month, is said to be a big admirer of the young midfielder's potential and quality. Van Nistelrooy worked briefly with Collyer during his short stint at Manchester United earlier this year and was impressed by the 20-year-old’s composure, versatility, and work rate.
Now at Leicester, he sees Collyer as a key addition to his squad as he looks to rebuild and push for a return to the Premier League's top half. Collyer, who has been on the fringes of the first team at Old Trafford, could benefit from more regular playing time, and the Foxes might offer the ideal platform for his development.
Van Nistelrooy's faith in the midfielder could play a pivotal role in convincing him to make the switch to the King Power Stadium. With Leicester aiming to bolster their squad in January, the pursuit of Collyer signals the coach's intent to invest in youth and build a team capable of competing at the highest level.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United would entertain offers for one of their rising stars.
