Maximillian "Maxi" Oyedele (born 7 November 2004) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Manchester United. Born in England, he represents Poland at youth level.
Oyedele joined the Manchester United Academy aged eight from Burnley, impressing through the youth ranks.[1] Having progressed through the ranks, he was a part of the 2021–22 FA Youth Cup winning side, featuring from the bench in the final.[2]
In February 2023, Oyedele, alongside teammates Joe Hugill and Sonny Aljofree, joined National League club Altrincham on loan as part of a new scheme that would see him continue training with the Manchester United youth teams, as well as having the opportunity to gain first-team playing experience.[3] The move proved successful with Oyedele being nominated for the Altrincham Goal of the Season for his strike against Oldham Athletic.[4] Following his return from loan to Manchester United, he was blocked from competing in the Under-19 European Championship, instead being included in the first-team squad for the trip to Norway.[5]
In January 2024, Oyedele joined League Two bottom club Forest Green Rovers on loan until the end of the season.[6]
Born in Salford, Greater Manchester, England, to a Polish mother and a Nigerian father, he is a Poland youth international, having represented Poland at the under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels.[7]
