Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was taken aback by one particular piece of transfer business executed by the club this summer, it has been claimed.

The Red Devils had a bustling summer window, splashing out on talents such as Leny Yoro, Manuel Ugarte, Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee, and Noussair Mazraoui, while parting ways with Scott McTominay, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and Mason Greenwood.

Yet, it was the unexpected sale of young midfielder Maxi Oyedele to Legia Warsaw that caught Fernandes off guard. Manchester-born Oyedele, who has Polish and Nigerian heritage, has been making waves at Legia and recently received an unexpected call-up to the Polish national squad for their forthcoming Nations League fixtures against Portugal and Croatia.

Following Legia's win over Real Betis in the Europa Conference League, Feio remarked: "After the match with Gornik I said that we were dealing with a player who would sooner or later end up in the Polish national team. "I didn't know that he would be called up to the national team two days later.
