WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Obi-Martin helped to fire them into the last eight, with the youngster registering three goals in an impressive 5-1 mauling of Chelsea. He now has seven Youth Cup efforts to his name this season – the same amount that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/garnacho-mainoo-man-utd-wonderkids-fa-youth-cup-final/blt09a831021199796f" target="_blank">Alejandro Garnacho managed when winning that trophy in 2021-22</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United have been struggling for an attacking spark at senior level this season, but appear to have plenty of firepower in their academy. Obi-Martin is catching the eye, having a scored a hat-trick on his debut in a 6-0 thumping of Nottingham Forest, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-man-utd-future-safe-hands-kai-rooney-finishing-masterclass-teenager-fill-boots-old-trafford-legendary-father-wayne/blt804080c1226f4e94" target="_blank">Wayne Rooney’s son Kai is another prolific presence</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Ruben Amorim and Co may not be able to ignore Obi-Martin’s claims to a first-team debut for long, with Garnacho cementing a senior role on the back of his FA Youth Cup heroics. United are set to face old adversaries – and Obi-Martin’s former club - Arsenal in the quarter-finals.</p>
