Chido Obi-Martin's Packed Youth Games Schedule

0:00On April 2nd, Chito Obi-Marton is gearing up for some massive youth games in Manchester United. He's eyeing the Premier League under 21 International Cup Quarter Final against Rale Madrid at Old Trafford. Right after, United faces Crystal Palace in the FA Youth Cup, Semifinal and the Premier League Cup under 18 Final. Last season at just 17, Chito got the nod from Ruben Amarim, playing seven Premier League matches in one FA Cup game. But since the pre-season tour, first team chances dried up fast, limited to one unused bench spot against Wolves on December 30th. He's only recently rejoined senior training. Academy coaches felt Amarim's recent comment, comparing him to a struggling loany, and noting he is not always starting in the under-12s, was A. Needless Dick, still, his under-18 coach last year, now leading the under-21s, Adam Horns, praises Chito's quality and mindset. He is handling the drop-off from first team buzz with real maturity. Chito has banged in 15 goals across youth comps this season, including caps for Denmark's under-21s and halls in recent FA Youth Cup rounds.

1:11He is back strong after a March concussion against Chelsea's under-21s, hitting top form with extra solo gym sessions near Carrington. The club knocked back January loan bits to keep him building here. The coaches are riding him hard because they see superstar potential, and with this packed schedule, his summer path hinges on how he delivers. This Copenhagen kid, who ditched Arsenal for United, is proving he is built for the grind.
