**From the article:**
Manchester United have received Premier League approval for the signing of Chido Obi-Martin.
Obi-Martin will be officially unveiled as a United player and **is expected to play between the Under-18 and Under-21 sides.**
He will be gradually eased into his new environment and a source said ‘he will need time and patience’ following a spell out of the game while United waited for the Premier League to ratify the deal, with Obi-Martin training on his own with a private coach during that time.
It’s also understood United’s head of the academy Nick Cox and the head of academy recruitment Luke Fedorenko are responsible for the deal to sign Obi-Martin. The transfer is considered as a significant coup by United and the club believe he has first-team potential.
Following in the footsteps of Amrabat and Ugarte. Wonder if other clubs do business like this
We need to handle his development well. Especially considering we already have 2 very young forwards as is. Since he is Danish, I’d love to see him go on a season long loan next year to a mid to higher Scandinavian side.
Patience? We expect him to be Mainoo 2.0 here. Save our season you boy !
