Manchester United have allowed another talented youngster to leave the club as the summer overhaul of Erik ten Hag's squad continues.

United have been one of the most active Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window, with a number of new signings joining the team and plenty of other players heading out the door.

The Red Devils have made four senior signings, bringing Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to Old Trafford – with Manuel Ugarte also expected to join from PSG.

Meanwhile, Silva Mexes and James Overy have also joined the club this summer at youth level.

A number of senior players have been allowed to leave including Raphael Varane, Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek and Mason Greenwood – with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Facundo Pellistri also exiting the club in recent days.

Several young talents have also departed including Willy Kambwala, Omari Forson and Charlie McNeill, with another now leaving the club.

United confirmed on Thursday that academy talent Maxi Oyedele has completed a permanent move to Polish club Legia Warsaw.

The 19-year-old joined United's academy as a youngster in 2012 and would go on to win the FA Youth Cup in 2022, coming on as a substitute in the final against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.

He represented United through the age groups up to Under-23 football and also spent time on loan at Altrincham and Forest Green Rovers.

Oyedele featured for the senior side in pre-season, setting up Joe Hugill's goal in United's friendly against Rangers in Edinburgh, before being part of the squad for the overseas tour of the United States.

Salford-born Oyedele penned an emotional letter to United supporters after his transfer to Legia was confirmed.

"My time at Manchester United has finally come to end," he posted on Instagram.

"I want to say thank you to the only club I've ever known. Honoured to say I've been at the club for 12 years and had some unbelievable experiences with some amazing team-mates.

"Thank you to all the coaches, staff and the fans, I will never forget the memories I have made at this club.

"I wish everyone at Manchester United all the best as I leave ready to start the next chapter of my career. This club will always be my home and, once again, thank you."
