Man Utd midfielder of Nigerian descent lands in Poland ahead of permanent transfer to Legia Warsaw

According to Fabrizio Romano, Legia Warsaw have agreed to sign Manchester United midfielder of Nigerian descent, Maxi Oyedele on a permanent deal.

The 19-year-old was named in Manchester United's traveling squad to the United States and featured in all games played within that period.

Despite his involvement in the pre-seaon fixtures, he didn't make the matchday squad for the Community Shield clash against Manchester City and the Premier League opener against Fulham.

With his non-involvement in the two opening fixtures, Oyedele has decided that his future lies elsewhere and is now on the verge of joining Polish side Legia Warsaw.

As stated by Romano, the England-born midfielder is already in Poland for the completion of the deal and Manchester United will have a sell-on clause inserted into the deal.

The 19-year-old is set to become the eleventh signing of Legia Warsaw who lead the way in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, the Polish top-flight table.

Oyedele joined Manchester United at the age of eight from Burnley and has featured for the club's U-18s, U-19s and Development side but has been unable to make his official debut for the first team.

He had spent two separate loan terms with Altrincham FC and Forest Green Rovers and is now close to leaving Old Trafford in search of more first team football.
