‘I will love to play at Old Trafford’ – Man United third signing ‘confirmed’ amid surprise Adrien Rabiot transfer boost -Report

Arsenal star Chido Obi-Martin has chosen Manchester United as his next club after turning down higher bids upon leaving Arsenal.

The Manchester Evening News reported earlier this month that United were working on a deal to sign striker Obi-Martin and they were hopeful of securing his signature.

Obi-Martin is understood to have visited Carrington in the build-up to his move which will see him follow Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro in joining the club this summer.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed a move will happen after he turned down higher bids from clubs in Germany.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports add the youngster’s departure from Arsenal was not a financially motivated decision.

It is said that he agreed a contract with Arsenal but there was doubts over his pathway into the first team and the Gunners’ project. Obi-Martin reportedly felt his career was best served at a new club.

Elsewhere, United have been handed a boost in their pursuit for free agent Adrien Rabiot.

Real Madrid were thought to be considering the signing of the France international but reports in Spain (via Football 365) claims Florentino Lopez has decided a transfer has been ruled out.
