Maxi Oyedele has been a player enjoying life away from Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag sold Oyedele for just £500,000 last summer, with the former Manchester United academy star making the switch to Poland’s top league with Legia Warsaw.

Oyedele has begun life away from Old Trafford brightly, starting four games and even making his European debut in the Conference League.

Most recently, Oyedele received a Poland national team call-up, and on Saturday night, he made his debut against Bruno Fernandes’ Portugal.

The youngster was on the losing side, with Portugal dismantling the Polish 3-1, in a game where Fernandes and Dalot impressed the media.

Other Manchester United stars also showed their support for their former teammate, taking to social media to congratulate the 19-year-old.
