Collyer managed to clear the ball out of United’s net with a blinding header on the goal-line, ultimately saving Ruben Amorim’s side from a draw against the Cottagers.
Speaking after the game alongside Martinez, he shared his appreciation for his team-mate’s compliments and his unquestionable pride in being part of the team.
“It’s unbelievable,” the young midfielder said. “It’s coming from a World Cup winner so I couldn’t ask for anyone better really. But yeah, like he said, I’m just working hard and it’s a tough environment.
“I think that’s good, it makes you better as a player and your character as well. I’m just thinking about improving and helping the team as much as I can.”
