Manchester United has officially added academy talents Chido Obi and Sékou Kone to their first-team squad.

This move comes amid a series of injuries that have prompted manager Ruben Amorim to integrate youth players into the senior squad.

Obi, a 17-year-old forward, made a notable debut against Tottenham Hotspur, entering as a substitute in the 90th minute. His inclusion follows a remarkable performance in the FA Youth Cup, where he scored a hat-trick against Chelsea.

Kone, a 19-year-old defensive midfielder, joined United from Malian side Guidars FC in August 2024. He has been a standout in the academy, earning recognition for his dynamic playing style and potential to contribute to the senior team.

Their promotion underscores United’s commitment to nurturing young talent and providing them with opportunities in the Premier League. As the team faces challenges this season, the integration of these promising players offers a glimpse into the club’s future prospects.
