Manchester United are prepared to send Nigerian-eligible striker Chido Obi-Martin out on loan this summer as part of the club's plans to accelerate his development, NigeriaSoccernet.com reports.
The Red Devils are reportedly keen on securing a move for the highly rated youngster to a club in continental Europe, believing such an environment would provide a more suitable pathway to regular senior football than a loan spell in the English Football League.
According to Danish outlet Tipsbladet, United's coaching staff have concluded that the talented forward is not yet ready for consistent Premier League action and would benefit from regular first-team minutes in a less physically demanding league.
The report adds that the club wants Obi-Martin to continue his development in a tactical setting where he can gain valuable experience while avoiding the intense physical demands associated with Championship football.
The teenager currently faces stiff competition for attacking places at Old Trafford, with Benjamin Šeško, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo all ahead of him in the senior pecking order.
Obi-Martin featured for Manchester United during their 5-0 pre-season victory over Rosenborg, coming off the bench to play the final 30 minutes. However, he was not included in the squad for the club's subsequent friendly victory over Atlético Madrid.
The highly rated striker joined Manchester United towards the end of 2024 after leaving Arsenal's academy and has since emerged as one of the club's most exciting young attacking prospects.
