Ruben Amorim explains huge Chido Obi decision and explains why Man Utd wonderkid will miss Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest

After the international break, United are all set to return to action in the Premier League on Tuesday as they take on Nottingham Forest away from home. Teenager Obi-Martin, however, will not feature in the difficult fixture, as he has been included in the club's U-18 team, who are scheduled to face Aston Villa in the semi-final of FA Youth Cup on Monday.

Since moving from Arsenal last year, the striker has been instrumental for the Red Devils U-18 side as he has scored seven goals in three appearances in the youth tournament, including a hat-trick against Chelsea in the fifth round.

Speaking to reporters, manager Amorim said: "He is going to play today because we try to imagine the next game and if you look before he was on the bench and just played against Fulham, but just 10 minutes at the end of the game, and we have to manage the minutes, we have to give the minute stop the kid.

"So tomorrow I try to imagine the game, I imagine also it is really important for our young kids to feel the energy also of the game. It is really important for us, we are trying to win that competition, trying to build something with the youth, and the good thing with the academy players is they have that feeling of winning. So we are trying to to manage everything and Chido needs to play also, so we are helping the team and the player."

After facing Forest in midweek, Amorim's side will next take on rivals Manchester City in a derby clash in the Premier League on April 6.
