Chido Obi will play no part against former team Arsenal as he has been held back from Manchester United’s FA Youth Cup squad tonight.
The 17-year-old, who joined United from the Gunners in October, was recently promoted to Ruben Amorim’s first team following a season-ending injury to Amad Diallo.
He was handed his debut away to Tottenham and also got first team minutes in the 2-2 draw away to Everton.
Obi has been a revelation for the Under 18s in the Youth Cup this season, scoring seven goals in United’s three matches, but Mail Sport understands he has not travelled to London to face Arsenal due to being involved with the first team squad on Sunday against Fulham in the FA Cup.
