Manchester United’s long wait for Premier League ratification over Chido Obi-Martin has now come to a successful conclusion.
Ineos‘ mission to strengthen the Manchester United academy has been largely successful so far and now the crown jewel of the recruitment drive has been completed.
Samuel Lusale has already joined the club from Crystal Palace, while James Overy was also confirmed to have joined the club.
These deals followed Sekou Kone who arrived on deadline day from FC Guidars, and now Chido Obi-Martin is set to finally join United.
Despite agreeing to the move in the summer, the Premier League ratification process has been long and drawn out, yet now it is all completed.
Chido Obi-Martin completes Manchester United move
On Friday, the wait for the Premier League ratification process came to an end with SCOOP on X reporting that the deal was now completed.
United received official communication from the Premier League that ratification over the transfer of Obi-Martin had been completed – meaning he is now considered a United player as we await the announcement.
It is added that contracts will soon to fully signed off but a debut is not expected to be imminent considering how he has missed so much time while this deal was being completed.
Therefore Obi-Martin will be given an appropriate amount of time to reach full fitness levels and also to acclimatise – although Obi-Martin has been in action for Denmark.
Obi-Martin instantly becomes one of the highest-regarded players in the United academy and we cannot wait to see him start putting the goals away.
