EXCLUSIVEMan United make decision over whether wonderkid Chido Obi, 17, can play in crunch FA Youth Cup semi-final after impressing under Ruben Amorim

Manchester United have allowed Chido Obi to return to the Under-18s for tonight’s crucial FA Youth Cup semi-final against Aston Villa.

Obi scored seven goals in the first three rounds, with braces against Coventry City and Preston North End, before a hat-trick against Chelsea.

But having been left out of the quarter-final away to Arsenal following promotion to Ruben Amorim’s first team, it was unclear if he would feature in the tournament again this season, particularly given the first team’s trip to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
