During his first week on the job as Manchester United manager in November, Ruben Amorim was told that he has a unique striker talent on the rise. Danish Chido Obi-Martin dropped Arsenal and signed for Manchester United last summer. The 17-year-old has 9 goals in seven appearances for United’s U18 team. Now bigger challenges awaited the Premier League U18 history’s all-time leading scorer, a challenge the striker with 10 goals in the same game against Liverpool at U16 took on with great pleasure.
Because on Wednesday, Obi-Martin was part of Manchester United’s U21 team against Oldham in the national league cup. Here, United waltzed over their opponents in the second half to a 0-5 victory, until halftime it was 0-0. Obi-Martin was on the pitch from the start, delivered as expected and put in the 0-2 score.
It certainly won’t be long before Ruben Amorim beckons the teenager to join Man United’s first-team training with his debut during the season. This could be the striker Manchester United fans have been waiting for.
