Manchester United wonderkid and Republic of Ireland U17 Mipo Odubeko has elected to leave the club despite being offered a new contract.

The 16-year-old was highly regarded within the academy and scored 35 goals last season but, per MailOnline, has decided not to accept a new deal because his "future is better served away from the club."

He has been linked to a whole host of clubs on the continent including Feyenoord, Bayern Munich and Genoa.

Odubeko, who played youth football with both Crumlin United and St Josephs before moving across to the UK, has been in with Colin O'Brien's Ireland U17 squad recently and has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs as well.

The teen first played for the Republic of Ireland at under-15 level and was part of their team at the 2017 Victory Shield.

Having impressed in the English Youth Premier League, he made the breakthrough to Manchester United's U18s and scored last February.
