Manchester United academy star Chido Obi is easily one of the most exciting prospects emerging from Carrington.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the takeover, Ineos have shifted transfer strategy at Manchester United<\/a> and are eager to invest in young players who can develop into superstars.<\/p>\n

Chido Obi<\/a> certainly fits that profile, so it makes sense why United poached him from Arsenal\u2019s academy last summer.<\/p>\n

Obi has been tipped as a \u201cspecial\u201d talent<\/a>, and fans got a glimpse of his potential last season when he made eight first-team appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim is a big admirer of Obi<\/a> and it feels inevitable that the 17-year-old will eventually have a big career at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Obi is the top scorer in U18s history<\/a>, and he is showing no signs of slowing down at United with 17 goals in 18 games at U18s and U21s level.<\/p>\n

Staff and coaches are understandably excited by Obi\u2019s potential, and scouts might want to keep an eye on his brother who is following his trajectory.<\/p>\n

As pointed out by Attacking Football on X, his younger brother Chuk Obi has just scored his first goal in the Premier League U18s for West Ham.<\/p>\n

Chido and his brother Chuk won\u2019t meet in the Premier League U18s level because of the north and south divide, but there is a good chance they could face each other down the line.<\/p>\n

Who is Chuk Obi? Chido Obi\u2019s younger brother<\/p>\n

At just 17 years old, Chido Obi is dominating academy football and proven himself capable of handling the Premier League\u2019s physicality.<\/p>\n

It seems that his instinctive striker traits are something that runs in his family, as younger brother Chuk is also a centre-forward for West Ham.<\/p>\n

Born in 2009, Chuk Obi is 16 years old and currently plays for Denmark\u2019s Under-17s as well as West Ham\u2019s academy.<\/p>\n

He has made three appearances for West Ham\u2019s Under-18s this season, and looks to be a player that could become a regular in their youth side.<\/p>\n

United have previously had brotherly connections in Gary and Phil Neville as well as Fabio and Rafael \u2013 perhaps one day the Obi brothers will also call Old Trafford home.<\/p>\n
