Former Arsenal star Chido Obi-Martin scored a hat-trick just 14 minutes into his first start for Manchester United Under-18s on Saturday.
It took just 16 seconds for the outstanding striker to open the scoring for United against Nottingham Forest, with further goals following in the fifth and 14th minutes.
Obi-Martin made his United debut last weekend when he came on as a substitute against Sunderland.
The Danish youth international was offered a scholarship contract by Arsenal but decided to turn it down to continue his development at United.
During his time at Arsenal, Obi-Martin scored a record 32 goals in just 20 appearances for the Gunners under-18 team. His return last season was the most goals ever scored by an Arsenal player at that level in a single campaign.

The tall striker had to wait more than two months for the Premier League to ratify his transfer, but is now ready to make a big impact for United.
He reportedly turned down the opportunity to earn more money abroad because he was convinced of United’s project.
Glostrup-born Obi-Martin currently represents Denmark at under-18 level, although he previously played for England under-16.
