"Obi has 14 goals in all competitions for the U21s and U18s, with the former Arsenal starlet hoping to help guide Darren Fletcher's young side to FA Youth Cup glory. At U18 level, Obi scored in United's win over Oxford United in the FA Youth Cup."
"The other nominees include West Ham duo Joshua Ajala Reyan Clayton, Arsenal pair Brayden Clarke and Tommy Setford, Tottenham's Rio Kyerematen and City duo Kian Noble and Matty Warhurst."
Chido Obi, a young striker for Manchester United's academy, has been nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award following an impressive performance. The former Arsenal player has scored 14 goals across the U21s and U18s this season. His nomination came after a standout display against Leicester City where he netted four goals, including two late winners. However, Obi suffered a head injury during Manchester United's subsequent match against Chelsea, forcing him off the pitch early. His return to action remains uncertain, with potential fixtures against Birmingham City on Friday or Southampton on March 13. At U18 level, Obi has also contributed to the FA Youth Cup campaign.
