Chido Obi-Martin marks landmark Manchester United moment by scoring again for Under-18s

Manchester United striker Chido Obi-Martin celebrated signing his first professional contract by scoring the opener in the Under-18s' 3-0 win over Stoke City on Saturday.

The Danish youth international put United ahead with 71 minutes on the clock, converting a penalty, before James Scanlon and Dante Plunkett made sure of the points in the closing stages.

Turning 17 on Friday, Obi-Martin's maiden professional contract was allowed to commence at Old Trafford. The striker signed a scholarship with an agreement for his professional contract to begin when he turned 17 after joining United from Arsenal in the summer.

The Dane won the penalty that gave him the opportunity to put his side ahead. He got goal-side of Pijus Otegbayo and drew a foul from the Potters centre-back.

Obi-Martin, who has now scored in each of his last two appearances for the Under-18s, made no mistake from the spot, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.

The striker was substituted not long after putting United in front, being replaced by Victor Musa with 76 minutes on the clock. The Dane's exit did not damage United's prospects of scooping all three points at Stoke's Clayton Wood training base, with Scanlon smashing in a brilliant second seven minutes later.

He rifled in a fierce effort from the edge of the box to claim his 10th goal of the season in the Under-18s Premier League. Plunkett made sure of the points in the closing stages, turning the ball home from close range.

The U18s have now won each of their first 10 league matches this season, scoring 46 goals in the process. They have also kept four consecutive clean sheets.
