In a move that signals a bright future for Manchester United, talented youngster Chido Obi-Martin has been elevated to the senior squad for the upcoming season.
The 16-year-old Danish forward will serve as third-choice striker, backing Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
Obi-Martin’s rise to prominence began at Arsenal, where he impressed with an astonishing 32 goals in 24 appearances for the youth team last season. His most notable feat came in November 2023, when he netted 10 times in a thrilling 14-3 victory over Liverpool’s U16s.
Following his departure from Arsenal this summer, Obi-Martin joined Manchester United as a free agent. Renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on X that the teenager is poised to make his mark on the pitch, predicting “some minutes” for Obi-Martin this campaign.
United’s faith in Obi-Martin underscores the club’s commitment to nurturing young talent. With his impressive goal-scoring record and experience training with Arsenal’s first team, fans eagerly anticipate the teenager’s contributions to Manchester United’s success.
“Chido Obi-Martin is expected to get some minutes this campaign,” Fabrizio Romano tweeted.
As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Obi-Martin as he takes the leap to the senior squad, injecting fresh energy into Manchester United’s attacking line.
