See what Manchester United fans are saying about Ruben Amorim and Amad Diallo after 4-0 thrashing of Everton
He has scored 12 goals in nine matches since joining Manchester United at the start of the current season.
Obi-Martin's performance came shortly after news of Kai Havertz's injury, which led some Arsenal fans to suggest Obi-Martin would have had a first-team opportunity if he had stayed with the Gunners.

Obi-Martin responded to the criticism with a post on his Instagram story, saying "Love this club," after reposting a post from Manchester United celebrating his hat trick against Chelsea on Wednesday night.
The Danish-born Nigerian initially gained attention after his prolific scoring in Arsenal's youth teams, including scoring 10 goals in a 14-3 victory over Liverpool's U16 team in November 2023.

He also scored 29 goals in 17 U-18 Premier League matches last season while with the Gunners.
But despite being offered a professional contract by Arsenal, he chose to move to Manchester United instead, a move that was finalised after Premier League ratification.

It is believed he wanted to move on due to doubts about his pathway into the first-team at Arsenal, who has since learnt from the ordeal and handed out senior chances to Ethan Nwaneri and Lewis Skelly.
