Former Manchester United midfielder Maxi Oyedele showed a glimpse of his quality with his first goal for Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> has led the praise for former teammate Maxi Oyedele<\/a> after his goal for Strasbourg against Nantes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mainoo and Oyedele were both part of Manchester United\u2019s FA Youth Cup winning squad in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oyedele impressed for United in pre-season 2024, but was then sold to Legia Warsaw<\/a>. United then profited from a sell-on clause when he was sold to Strasbourg in 2025.<\/p>\n

The midfielder\u2019s season has been wrecked by injury this year. He was making his first start for Strasbourg at the weekend when he scored at the end of the first half in a 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n

Maxi Oyedele\u2019s goal was a reminder of the quality that he has. He is a player that Darren Fletcher<\/a> tipped to become a \u201ctop player\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is good to see him bounce back from injury and hit form. He might go on to make United seriously regret letting him leave.<\/p>\n

Oyedele\u2019s former United teammates reached out on Instagram to congratulate him. Here is a look at the messages.<\/p>\n

Kobbie Mainoo: The oneCharlie McNeill: Love to see it \u2764\ufe0fRhys Bennett: \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0fDan Gore: \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25Joe Hugill: Oh yesAdam Berry: So goodTyler Fredricson: easy as that<\/p>\n

The messages show the high regard Oyedele is held in by his colleagues, and how keen they are for him to succeed. This goal will kick-start his season.<\/p>\n

What is YOUR reaction to Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s recall for England? <\/p>\n

What is Ruben Amorim thinking right now?!<\/p>\n

\"KobbiePhoto by Oli SCARFF \/ AFP via Getty Images Oyedele has already made international debut<\/p>\n

Born in Salford, Maxi Oyedele was eligible to play international football for England, Nigeria and Poland.<\/p>\n

He chose to represent Poland at youth level, and after signing for Legia Warsaw he was called up to the senior squad<\/a>. He made his debut last season, playing an international fixture against Bruno Fernandes and Portugal.<\/p>\n

Injuries have halted his international progress, but at 21, he has time on his side. If he scores a few more goals like he did at the weekend, a recall is only a matter of time.<\/p>\n
