A notable absence from the recent England U18 squad has sparked speculation about the future of highly-rated Manchester United youngster, Chido Obi-Martin. The 17-year-old striker's omission from the squad has led to rumors suggesting that he could be set for a first-team call-up under manager Rubén Amorim.
Since joining United from Arsenal in 2023, Obi-Martin has been a standout performer for the club's youth teams. His impressive goal-scoring record and technical ability have earned him comparisons to some of the biggest names in the game.
With first-team strikers Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund struggling to find their best form, manager Rubén Amorim has been searching for a solution to his team's attacking woes. The club's failure to sign a new striker during the January transfer window has only intensified the pressure on Amorim to find a solution from within his squad.
The absence of Obi-Martin from the England U18 squad has fueled speculation that he could be set for a first-team call-up. With the club's lack of attacking options, Amorim may see Obi-Martin as the perfect solution to his problems.
Promoting a 17-year-old to the first team would be a bold move by Amorim, but it is one that could pay dividends in the long term. Obi-Martin has the potential to become a star player for Manchester United, and giving him a chance to shine in the first team could help him to fulfill his potential.
