Wonderkid Maxi Oyedele has swapped Manchester United for a League Two club this winter.

The youngster is set to play for Forest Green Rovers in the fourth tier for the coming months.

He will be coached by ex-Premier League striker Troy Deeney, who is manager at Forest Green.

On the arrival of Oyedele, Deeney told club media: "Maxi is a wonderful talent and we're extremely lucky to have him here.

"The fans will enjoy watching him and we need to make sure we get him in a place where he can showcase his talents."

The youngster then added: "I'm very excited to be here and I'm looking forward to getting started.

"I will bring energy to the group, professionalism and quality as well.

"I will let loose and give it my all. There will be no stone unturned.

"I believe we can climb up the table, that's why I've come here, so I'll be doing everything I can to help with that."
