Manchester United have successfully secured the services of promising striker Chido Obi-Martin, who chose the Red Devils over higher financial offers from clubs in Germany.
The former Arsenal talent, who was concerned about his pathway to the first team at Emirates Stadium, has decided that his future is brighter at Old Trafford.
Obi-Martin's decision to join Manchester United follows his visit to the club's Carrington training ground, where he reportedly felt confident in the club's vision for his career. This marks United's third signing of the summer, with Obi-Martin set to join Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro as the newest additions to Erik ten Hag's squad.
Transfers specialist Fabrizio Romano claimed the transfer was sealed, noting that Obi-Martin was not motivated by financial incentives, but rather by the potential for growth and opportunity.

Adrien Rabiot transfer saga continues
In other news, Manchester United might still be in the running to sign free agent Adrien Rabiot. The French midfielder's future remains uncertain after leaving Juventus at the end of his contract.
Despite interest from top clubs, including a rumored approach from Real Madrid, Rabiot's mother, Veronique, revealed that the player shares a positive relationship with United.
"We are on excellent terms with Manchester United. United wanted to meet me to illustrate their interest in Adrien, but we never talked about money in detail because he quickly decided to stay in Turin [back in 2023]," Veronique Rabiot said.
United's long-standing interest in Rabiot, who almost joined the club in 2020 and again in 2022, could finally materialize if the conditions align. With the midfielder now available on a free transfer, United might seize the opportunity to strengthen their midfield options.
