Man United believe they can win the race to sign emerging starlet, Chido Obi-Martin.
Over the last few days, talks over a potential move to nab Chido Ob-Martin from the Arsenal academy are growing. The young striker is among the most highly-rated talents within the sport at the moment.
I’ve always said that Manchester United is still the place to be for the next generation of emerging talents. Even despite the fact that the Red Devils have struggled over the last few years. It’s no real surprise to learn that Ob-Martin fancies a move from Arsenal to United, following in the footsteps of Robin van Persie.
Journalist Christopher Michel has provided an interesting update on that front this morning. He states that United are now ‘confident’ they will win the race to sign the talented starlet.
The player himself wants to stay in England, amid interest from some top-tier German sides. No final decision has been made yet, though the Reds appear to be in pole position.

Obi-Martin is Arsenal’s best prospect right now. Stealing him from under their noses would be really sweet. Not only would United be getting a top-tier player, but it’d also directly hurt one of their main rivals.
This is what United do. Just look at Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho right now. Both are flourishing. Why wouldn’t Obi-Martin want to become a part of that?
I’ve always said United should stick to spending their resources on younger players and develop their talents, rather than spending big to acquire ready-made marquee footballers who sometimes wilt under the pressure.
