Manchester United teenager Chido Obi-Martin, 17, gave fans a virtuoso display with a hat-trick in the FA Youth Cup that led the U18s to a dominant 5-1 win over Chelsea. The victory earns the team a quarterfinals spot and places Obi-Martin’s rising status as one of the world’s brightest young stars in the limelight.

Obi-Martin embarked on his journey to Old Trafford in the summer when he left Arsenal’s academy for Manchester United. The switch was with a view to an even more straightforward transition into the senior team, something that is now quickly becoming a reality. Since arriving, the forward-born in Denmark, yet eligible to play for Nigeria internationally, has been match-winning and found the net nine times in 11 games this season.

His recent hat-trick against Chelsea not only demonstrated his clinical finishing but also demonstrated his pressure game in pressure games. The fans were soon drawing comparisons, and there are a few who have the view that if Obi-Martin had remained at Arsenal, he would have been the solution to their current injury crisis on the attacking front. In response to such gossip, Obi-Martin took to social media again declaring his loyalty towards Manchester United with the statement, “Love this club.”

Manchester United first-team manager Ruben Amorim has made the observation regarding the immense development of Obi-Martin. When queried if the young striker would be included in the first team on senior debut, Amorim said, “He’s doing his job. He’s improving, he’s playing in the youth teams, and also we have other players that can play that position. Rasmus and Josh are there. We bought these two players, we must make them better, and sometimes the confidence can change.”

Obi-Martin’s journey from Arsenal’s youth setup to one of Manchester United’s U18s top performers is a story of his hard work and natural ability. As he continues to develop, supporters are left eager, hoping to see him wear the senior team jersey at some point in the not-so-distant past.

Therefore, Chido Obi-Martin continues to develop at the possibility of making even greater contributions towards the success of Manchester United at whatever level. Recent performances that he has taken on have not only secured him space among the developing stars in the club but even won the sympathy of global football fans too.
