Chido Obi Martin’s impressive stats speak for themselves, with 29 goals in his last eleven U18 Premier League games. The young forward’s decision to join Manchester United was heavily influenced by Ruud van Nistelrooy, who held direct talks with Chido to present the long-term vision for the club. Van Nistelrooy’s involvement was crucial in securing the deal.
In addition to Chido Obi Martin, Manchester United have also agreed on a deal to sign Samuel Lusale from Crystal Palace for their Academy.

With these promising additions, Manchester United continue to bolster their youth ranks, aiming for a bright future.
