Manchester United have officially handed Danish-Nigerian wonderkid Chido Obi the iconic No. 32 shirt — a symbolic gesture marking the club’s confidence in his talent and future potential at Old Trafford.
At just 17, Obi’s meteoric rise continues following his switch from Arsenal’s youth ranks. The striker, known for his power, composure, and clinical finishing, has impressed in United’s youth setup and caught the eye in first-team training. His assignment of the No. 32 jersey is a clear sign that the club views him as part of their long-term first-team plans.
Historically, the No. 32 has been worn by players like Carlos Tévez, who helped United to Premier League and Champions League glory. Obi now has the chance to revive that legacy with his own story, potentially featuring in pre-season games and domestic cups under Erik ten Hag.
United fans from Denmark, Nigeria, and beyond have flooded social media with excitement, calling for Obi’s debut. With the physical and technical tools already in his locker, expectations are high that Chido Obi could soon emerge as United’s next breakout striker.
