Manchester United FINALLY seal wonderkid signing after months of wrangling amid court date threat

United reached an agreement to sign Obi-Martin in July but have been forced to wait for the transfer to be approved. The deal was held up, however, due to legal complications as the Red Devils and Arsenal negotiated over compensation for the youngster.

The 16-year-old has now been given the clearance to finalise the deal after the Premier League gave approval after their five-step process was concluded on Friday, Fabrizio Romano says. The forward has already signed his contract with the Red Devils.

Obi-Martin has represented both England and Denmark at youth level, most recently featuring Denmark Under 17s. He was part of the Denmark side that reached the U17s Euros semi-finals this year.

The teenager will continue his promising career in the United youth system after completing his move. The Red Devils' senior side take on Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.
