Chido Obi Martin: The Young Mischief Maker!…
Manchester United’s got the next Rooney, folks! Meet 17-year-old Chido Obi Martin, who’s been turning heads faster than you can say, “Wayne’s World!” Football sage Chris Sutton believes this new Red Devil is quite the “menace.” And no, we’re not talking about his hairdo!
Obi Martin, a former Arsenal youth player (we know, gasp!), has been stirring up excitement at the United academy since last year. Making a couple of dazzling Premier League appearances against Tottenham and Everton, Obi had jaws dropping and defenders tripping over their own socks. It was during the FA Cup showdown with Fulham that he truly channeled his inner Wayne, leaving Chris Sutton nodding approvingly.
But wait, there’s more! Sutton warned giddy Man U fans to chill out a bit. At 17, Obi’s still growing into his kit, but anyone who can bulldoze Fulham’s Calvin Bassey gets a gold star from Sutton. The lad’s fearless, explosive, and carries a kind of delightful mystique. With 37 goals in 26 U-18 games, Obi’s showing that sometimes it pays to trade red for, er, another shade of red. Watch out, world – a new star’s in town!
