Obi-Martin had doubts about his pathway to first-team football under Mikel Arteta, leading him to seek opportunities elsewhere.
The Denmark youth international scored 32 goals in 20 league games for Arsenal's U18s last season and made headlines with his 10 strikes against Liverpool U16s in a 14-3 win in November.
Obi-Martin turned down more lucrative offers from Germany to join United, indicating his preference for the club's development opportunities.
