Manchester United youngster Chido Obi has expressed his excitement ahead of Friday night’s FA Youth Cup quarter-final against Arsenal, insisting his biggest motivation is helping his team win by doing what he loves most—scoring goals.
The 17-year-old, who joined United from Arsenal earlier this season, will come up against his former club for the first time in a competitive fixture. Softfootball understands the highly-rated forward has adapted well since making the switch and is already regarded as one of the club’s brightest young prospects.
Speaking before the encounter, Obi admitted that finding the back of the net remains his greatest joy on the pitch. He said:
I love to score goals, and I love to help the team to win in this big competition.
The interview marks the first extended footage released by Manchester United featuring Obi since his arrival from Arsenal. The teenage forward recently achieved another milestone by making his senior debut in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month.
With a place in the FA Youth Cup semi-finals at stake, Obi will be hoping to continue his impressive development and inspire United against the club where his football journey began.
