Manchester United are preparing for a trip to Nottingham Forest tomorrow night, aiming to grab more points in the Premier League as the season starts to wrap up.
With only nine games left, we’re into the final quarter of the season as United fight for as many points as possible with a top-ten finish still mathematically in reach.
However, one man who’s unlikely to be on the bus for the trip to The City Ground is young striker Chido Obi.
The Danish wonderkid has incredible potential and has already grabbed his senior debut as he took to the field for a quick run out against Tottenham Hotspur in February.
Since then, Obi has come off the bench against Everton and Leicester in the Premier League and against Fulham as United were knocked out of the FA Cup.
However, the 17-year-old is now taking to the pitch tonight, making an appearance for United’s Under-18s side.

Chido Obi to play in FA Youth Cup against Aston Villa
The Daily Mail has reported that Obi is set to play for the youth side in their FA Youth Cup semi-final against Aston Villa.
Already this season the talented striker has grabbed 12 goals and one assist in nine games for the Under-18s, hoping to continue his impressive form to take United to the next round.
Obi has scored in every round of the FA Youth Cup, with braces against Coventry and Preston, and a hattrick against Chelsea.
In the tournament, the youngster has only missed the match-up against his former team Arsenal due to sitting on the bench for the senior team against Ipswich and, coincidentally, Arsenal, either side of the youth team’s quarter-final game.
As such, Adam Lawrence will be hoping Obi can bring his shooting boots to Villa park to help the side into the final.
