Chido Obi-Martin comment speaks volumes after starlet swaps Arsenal for Man Utd

However, according to one source, via The Athletic, the 17-year-old was strongly convinced that his path to first team football, something he maintains he can engineer, would be easier to achieve at United given the club's reputation for promoting youth.

In October, he marked his debut for United’s under-18s with a hat-trick in the first 15 minutes against Nottingham Forest. Since his move to the Red Devils Obi-Martin has registered five goals in five games in the U18 Premier League and claimed one assist.

Only time will tell if he was the one that got away for Arsenal. But the Gunners' loss is no doubt United and new Old Trafford boss, Ruben Amorim's, gain as it stands.
