Manchester Utd manager Ruben Amorim provides inspiring update on Nigeria teenager Obi-Martin

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has shared an uplifting update on Nigerian prospect Chido Obi-Martin, highlighting the youngster’s development in the club’s youth ranks.

Obi-Martin, who joined United from Arsenal’s academy last summer, has been in impressive form, netting nine goals in 11 appearances. His performances have sparked discussions about a potential promotion to the first team, especially with United’s current attacking struggles.

With loan departures depleting the squad’s attacking options and strikers Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee yet to find consistent form, Amorim has not ruled out giving the 17-year-old a first-team opportunity.

“He’s doing his job,” Amorim said in a press conference when asked about Obi-Martin’s progress.

“He’s improving, he’s playing in the youth teams, and also we have other players who can play that position.

“Rasmus and Josh are there. We bought these two players, we need to improve them, and sometimes the confidence can change a player. We will see at the end of the season.

“But until then we have two strikers who can score goals, they’ve proved in the past, so let’s see if we can improve as a team to help them to score goals.”
