VIDEO: Get him in the first team! Man Utd wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin scores ANOTHER hat-trick as Red Devils' U18s thump Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup

The Danish 17-year-old has been in stunning form for the Red Devils’ U18 team this season. His exploits are keeping United in the hunt for another FA Youth Cup triumph. They are through to the quarter-finals of that competition.

Obi-Martin helped to fire them into the last eight, with the youngster registering three goals in an impressive 5-1 mauling of Chelsea. He now has seven Youth Cup efforts to his name this season – the same amount that Alejandro Garnacho managed when winning that trophy in 2021-22.

United have been struggling for an attacking spark at senior level this season, but appear to have plenty of firepower in their academy. Obi-Martin is catching the eye, having a scored a hat-trick on his debut in a 6-0 thumping of Nottingham Forest, while Wayne Rooney’s son Kai is another prolific presence.

Ruben Amorim and Co may not be able to ignore Obi-Martin’s claims to a first-team debut for long, with Garnacho cementing a senior role on the back of his FA Youth Cup heroics. United are set to face old adversaries – and Obi-Martin’s former club - Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
