Mikel Arteta sheds light on why Chido Obi snubbed Arsenal for Man Utd

Arsenal director Michael Arta hinted that Chido Obi’s decision to leave Gunners last year for Manchester United was not dependent on a good path to the first team.

Obi spent two years reaching the junior teams in Arsenal before allowing his contract to end last summer. The 17 -year -old striker fell on United in October and quickly moved from the place where he stopped, as he was bullying in every defense he made in football for youth.

The towering teenager has recently given the opportunity to go out to the Great United team, as it has accumulated the appearance of a veil against the bench for the Robin Amorim team, which is full of injury since the beginning of the year. This was the influence of the East Obi, which caused his lack of eligibility in the European League slight.

Since it was saved for the draw for the English Football Association Cup in United against Fulham at the end of last week, Obi missed the opportunity to confront Arsenal in the FA Cup two days ago. However, the former artillery will rise against the North London team in the Premier League this week.

Arteta was expected to be asked about the OBI summer outlet before the two clubs collided on Sunday. Without being in detail, the Spanish president left enough speculation when he warned: “To persuade the player to stay, the player must be ready to adhere to us and adhere to us – and I do not know specifically, specifically, [but] Both parties will feel very different. ”

ARTETA added: “Depending on the reason, they want to go to another place – this is the matter.” “I was not involved in this decision. When the player decides the best path to leave, there is not much you can do. It is very unfortunate.”

The Times The claim that Arsenal is internally attributing Obi’s exit to the swollen financial reward offered by United. The Red Devils refuted this charge, insisting that their planned way to the first team was more attractive than anything that the cannons could offer.

Given the Arsenal offensive crisis – the title competitors without attackers in the first four selection – Obi could have been quickly tracked to the first team if it remained. The Miles Lewis – Skili and Ethan Nawanry – both of Obi’s peers – were a regular preparation this season even before a series of absentees.

When he was asked about his frequency of the youth trust, Artita Brest. “I don’t know what a visualization outside, but not internally no,” he said. “The reality is completely different, because these players [Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri] Always with us. I guarantee you that if there is a player who can help and influence the first team, he will be with us. “
