'Improving' - Everything said about Man United star Chido Obi-Martin after Ruben Amorim reveal

Ruben Amorim may look to use exciting youngster Chido Obi-Martin in his Manchester United first-team squad this season.

The Reds had a quiet Janaury transfer window with Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven the only new additions to Amoirm's team for now. Diego Leon will join in due course but the 17-year-old won't be at the club until at least his 18th birthday due to UK regulations put in place after Brexit.

One position which many expected United to strengthen was up-front with current strikers Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund left out of United's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday.

That leaves the possibility of Obi-Martin potentially being involved in the first-team picture this season. Below is what Amorim has said about the young star as well as the views of those who know him best...

Amorim has not ruled out the possibility of integrating Obi-Martin into his team. The Danish forward has been in fine form for United's U18 side this season, with nine goals so far.

"He’s doing his job," Amorim said when asked about the teenager. "He’s improving, he’s playing in the youth teams, and also we have other players who can play that position.

"Rasmus and Josh are there. We bought these two players, we need to improve them, and sometimes the confidence can change a player. We will see in the end of the season.

"But until then we have two strikers who can score goals, they’ve proved in the past, so let’s see if we can improve as a team to help them to score goals."
