In February 2023, Oyedele, alongside teammates Joe Hugill and Sonny Aljofree, joined National League club Altrincham on loan as part of a new scheme that would see him continue training with the Manchester United youth teams, as well as having the opportunity to gain first-team playing experience.[3] The move proved successful with Oyedele being nominated for the Altrincham Goal of the Season for his strike against Oldham Athletic.[4] Following his return from loan to Manchester United, he was blocked from competing in the Under-19 European Championship, instead being included in the first-team squad for the trip to Norway.[5]
