- The forward arrived from Arsenal, where he scored 32 goals in 18 matches for the Under-18s, including 10 against Liverpool, plus 20 goals in 37 youth appearances last season.
- Voetbal International reports terms are finalized with a medical taking place this evening, granting Obi senior opportunities unavailable under manager Michael Carrick.
- Shortages at centre forward persist at United as Benjamin Sesko recovers from a shin issue; manager Michael Carrick has deployed Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, while Joshua Zirkzee remains with the squad.
