Published: November 28, 2019

Manchester United will be rubbing their hands in ecstasy with the latest gem on their hands in the shape of talented Nigerian midfielder Max Oyedele.

The 2004-born winger has maintained an upward progression in his career with the Red Devils, and featured in this year's SuperCupNI for his side.

On Wednesday evening, Oyedele who has been described as a player with brilliant technique and searing pace scored a sumptuous goal for the U-15s in their 4-1 win over Everton in the Floodlit Cup.

The goal will come as a welcome boost to his already growing reputation and will set him up nicely for the rest of their league season.

Manchester United are know to reward the best of youngsters at their disposal and this was evident on Thursday evening — Ole Gunnar Solskjaer handed first team debuts to six academy players in their UEFA Europa League game against Astana.

Dillon Hoogerwerf, Shola Shoretire and Deji Sotona are the three Nigerian youngsters who feature for the club's U-18s.
