18-year-old from Manchester United in the Polish national team. He regularly gets a lot of praise

– Three years ago, Sam Pilger, a journalist for Four Four Two, posted a freeze frame of a boy passing balls at Old Trafford on Twitter and his delight after a goal. Today this boy is less and less anonymous for the MU community, because he is Maxi Oyedele, a regular player in the Premier League U-18 – you could read in September in Newonce.sport.

Mother is Polish, father is Nigerian

Maxi Oyedele is currently seventeen years old, playing as a defensive or central midfielder. He can also play on the right side of the help. His mother is Polish and his father is Nigerian. He joined Manchester United two years ago. He is currently on a “scholarship” contract [stypendium- red.]. In the 2020/2021 season, he played only three matches of the U-18 team. From this season on, Maxi Oyedele performs regularly. In addition, in the base eleven. So far he has played in seventeen games.

In December last year, Maxi Oyedele made his debut in the competitions of the prestigious FA Youth Cup. Manchester United defeated Scunthorpe United 4-2 in front of their home crowd. Oyedele came out in the starting line-up, played 61 minutes and scored his debut goal for Manchester United.

– The hit was a reward for the great performance of the central midfielder. It really showed great class at times. Oyedele, after his debut at the end of last season, began to be a regular under 18 player. He played in five consecutive league matches before the cup game – then wrote the portal Unitedinfocus.com.

Oyedele received loads of praise from his teammates. They were delighted with his playing. Manchester United’s biggest young star, Zidane Iqbal, even compared him in his post to Dele Alli, former England international and player. Oyedele and Alli have a similar hairstyle, but both are midfielders and can score goals.
