Man Utd loanee Chido Obi follows Isak's path at Willem II

Chido Obi's deadline-day loan to Willem II mirrors the move that launched Alexander Isak's career.

What happened. Manchester United sent 18-year-old Chido Obi on loan to Eredivisie side Willem II on deadline day, after he made eight senior appearances for the club.

• Isak spent a season on loan at Willem II from Borussia Dortmund at age 20.
• Isak called that spell 'the most important season of my career'.
• Obi's move follows the path of the £125m British record signing.

“That season at Willem II was the most important season of my career.”

— Alexander Isak

The loan aims to give Obi valuable minutes, hoping to replicate Isak's development success.
