London-born defender came through Under-18s in 2021/22 before earning valuable game time and experience in the Premier League 2; the EFL Trophy, UEFA Youth League and the FA Youth Cup.

With Ten Hag focused on rebuilding around youth, Ogunneye and his fellow starlets represent the future at Old Trafford.
