Manchester United have received Premier League approval for the signing of Chido Obi-Martin. The Manchester Evening News reported on Thursday that ratification of Obi-Martin's move to United was imminent and the deal has now been officially rubber-stamped.

United struck a deal to sign the prolific youth striker from Arsenal in July and the 16-year-old has since been forced to train away from Carrington while he awaited approval.

Now that has been received, Obi-Martin will be officially unveiled as a United player and is expected to play between the Under-18 and Under-21 sides.

It's also understood United's head of the academy Nick Cox and the head of academy recruitment Luke Fedorenko are responsible for the deal to sign Obi-Martin.
