Chido Obi-Martin continues to impress for Manchester United’s youth setup, adding to his goal tally in a commanding 3-0 victory over Leeds United in a Premier League Cup fixture on Saturday afternoon at Carrington Training Centre.
The prolific forward, a Denmark youth international of Nigerian descent, scored United’s third goal in the 44th minute.
The move began with Jaydan Kamason’s cross finding Amir Ibragimov, who expertly set up Obi-Martin for a composed finish.
This goal marks Obi-Martin’s fifth in just six appearances across all competitions since his arrival in October, underscoring his immediate impact.
Despite a slow start with no direct goal contributions in his U18 debut against Sunderland or his development squad outing against PSV Eindhoven, Obi-Martin has quickly found his rhythm.
United Dominate Leeds
Manchester United took an early lead through Kamason, whose brilliant second-minute strike set the tone for Adam Lawrence’s side.
They doubled their advantage in the 41st minute when Ibragimov’s pinpoint delivery allowed James Scanlon to score at the far post.
Chido Obi-Martin’s clinical finish just before halftime sealed the result, propelling United to the top of Group B.
