MANCHESTER UNITED have announced the signing of ex-Arsenal wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin.
Obi-Martin, 16, has put pen to paper with United after a stunning two-year stint in the Gunners’ youth system.

The young striker left the North Londoners in the summer after amassing a staggering 32 goals and three assists in 21 appearances with the Under-18s.
That led the Denmark Under-17 international to the Under-18 Premier League golden boot last term.
The forward, though, really caught the eye by scoring a whopping 10 goals in one match against Liverpool.
Obi-Martin also registered a seven-goal haul against Norwich, five goals against West Ham, four strikes in back-to-back games with Crystal Palace and Fulham as well as two more hat-tricks.
And the teenage sensation is looking forward to his new challenge at United.
Obi-Martin said: “I’m very happy to sign with Man United, an amazing club.
“It’s now time to focus and achieve all my dreams.”
Obi-Martin is eligible to play for Nigeria but has also represented both England and Denmark at youth level.
The ex-Arsenal centre-forward has played for the English and Danish Under-16 sides.
The Denmark youth star scored twice as he helped his country reach the semi-finals of the Under-17 Euros in May.
United have seen a number of youth stars break into the first team in recent years, such as Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.
