Manchester United fans are excited after watching Chido Obi-Martin training at Carrington, they make one demand
Chido Obi-Martin is the latest prodigy to make his way into the hallowed halls of Carrington.
The 17-year-old goalscoring phenom picked a move to Manchester United as his next club, after opting to depart Arsenal.
Chido Obi-Martin confirmed his arrival at England’s biggest club last week, months after it was initially reported that a deal was near.
Prior to confirmation, Obi-Martin was pictured with Eric Cantona with the United legend seeming to give his endorsement to the Dane.
In Obi-Martin, United have signed one of the most elite talents plying his trade in England – and he is expected to rather quickly impress himself onto the first-team if he can translate his 32-goal season for Arsenal to United.
Now Obi-Martin has been training at Carrington with footage emerging.

After the move was confirmed last week, already it seems that Chido Obi-Martin is impressing at Carrington.
He will be training over the next week and a half of the international break – during which we are sure Jason Wilcox will be keeping a close eye on the progress of the academy’s marquee addition.
Denmark U18 decided against calling Obi-Martin up for this round of internationals in order to avoid an injury considering it has been months since he played any club football.
This could be surprising considering he made his U18 Denmark debut in September – of course, Obi-Martin scored in the process.
But being left out is a blessing in disguise as he can build match fitness at Carrington ahead of a probable U18 debut later this month we would assume. Obi-Martin has been pictured in a United kit for the first time and listed with the U18 squad.
Now, some footage from training has been unveiled and it has left United fans ecstatic with the talent he looks to be, while making one demand.
Manchester United fans left excited by training clip
On Thursday some footage emerged of Obi-Martin scoring goal after goal in training at Carrington – it is not clear which age group he is with – and it is safe to say fans are excited.
Reacting to this clip, one fan wrote adamantly, “He needs to be fast-tracked. A real talent.”
One fan boldly stated, “I’ve seen enough, start him against Brentford!”
A third fan also sees a big future for the Dane, but places it on a slightly more realistic timeline, “2 years I think and he will be in our first team.”
“I think we have a beast in our midst”, a further fan remarked about Obi-Martin.
A final fan added, “He is going to burst up the league.”
After seeing how lethal he is in front of goal, we can only imagine how hurt Arsenal are to have fumbled a talent of this magnitude,
