Altrincham FC's plans for Chido Obi's loan transfer have been revealed, with the youngster set to leave on loan before the summer transfer window closes. The 18-year-old striker was left out of the squad against Atletico Madrid last time out and is not expected to be called into the senior squad for Saturday's friendly with Paris Saint-Germain.
What happened?
Chido Obi is reportedly likely to leave Altrincham FC on loan before the summer transfer window closes. The youngster was involved in Man United's opening two friendlies of the summer against Wrexham and Rosenborg but was left out of the squad against Atletico Madrid last time out.
Why it matters for Altrincham FC
The loan transfer will give Obi the chance to receive regular senior football during the 2026-27 campaign. This will be a crucial experience for the young striker, who has already made eight first-team appearances for Man United following his high-profile academy move from Arsenal in the summer of 2024.
What comes next?
FC Koln have previously been credited with an interest in Obi, although it is unclear at this stage whether the German club are considering a move. Man United are expected to move for a new striker this summer, with Joshua Zirkzee potentially returning to Serie A after a difficult time at Old Trafford.
