Exciting young talent Chido Obi-Martin added to the buzz around his potential as he scored a hat-trick on his full debut for Manchester United's Under-18s.
The teenager emerged as a target for the Red Devils after breaking academy records at Arsenal last season, managing an incredible total of 32 goals in 18 games. United then confirmed the deal in early October, with first-team coach Ruud van Nistelrooy reportedly playing a large role in convincing Obi-Martin to move to Old Trafford.
Obi-Martin, who earned viral fame after scoring ten goals in a clash with Liverpool last year, made a 27-minute cameo appearance against Sunderland last weekend but was handed a full debut by Adam Lawrence for Saturday's meeting with Nottingham Forest at Carrington.
The 16-year-old made a blistering start, bagging in just 13 seconds as he intercepted a loose pass, went around Forest goalkeeper Keehan Willows and tapped home.
