Man United fans wowed by Chido Obi-Martin after intriguing Rio Ferdinand reveal
Man United are in the midst of a season that they would rather forget, but the emergence of some young talent has given fans a glimmer of hope throughout the campaign.
Amad Diallo has been United’s big breakout star during the 2024-25 campaign, putting together some incredible performances.
The 22-year-old has scored nine goals and provided seven assists in 36 appearances this season, being a key ma for the 20-time champions.
Diallo unfortunately suffered an ankle injury which cut his season short, and United fans were stunned to see him in a boot at Old Trafford recently.
17-year-old Chido Obi-Martin is another emerging talent in the United squad who has had people talking about him due to his performances.
Obi-Martin has impressed so much that industry insider Mick Brown revealed to Football Insider that “serious questions” have been asked internally at Arsenal as to how he was allowed to leave in the January transfer window.
Rio Ferdinand has witnessed Chido Obi-Martin develop
United swooped in to pick up the teenager and he has immediately caught the eye, with Rio Ferdinand revealing more information about him during the latest episode of Rio Presents.
The United legend said, “He’s still rough around the edges and he should be that. But what I don’t have any fear about is that he will get chances.
“Because I watched him play against my two boys and the way he played yesterday is exactly the same, the ball falls and he’s there.”
Man United fans believe Chido Obi will be a star
United supporters are already buzzing about what Obi-Martin might be able to bring to the squad in the long-term future, with Ferdinand’s reveal only enhancing that.
