Manchester United's busy summer transfer window shows no sign of slowing down, with the club reportedly in talks over a surprise loan move for young striker Chido Obi. Meanwhile, the Red Devils could secure a substantial eight-figure payday from a documentary deal with Amazon Prime.
Chido Obi Loan Move to FC Koln
According to the Mirror, United are in discussions with Bundesliga side FC Koln over a potential loan move for the 18-year-old forward. The temporary switch is seen as an opportunity for Obi to gain valuable senior experience in Germany.
Obi made eight senior appearances for United during the 2024/25 campaign but has since been limited to academy football this term. He impressed at youth level, netting 20 goals and providing six assists across the U18 and U20 teams. The striker joined United from Arsenal in 2024 and is highly regarded within the club's development system.
Discussions have commenced regarding a deal that would see Obi link up with Koln for the forthcoming season, with United keen to ensure his continued progression.
Amazon Prime Documentary Could Net £15m
Former Manchester City financial consultant Stefan Borson has suggested that United have agreed to allow Amazon Prime to film an 'All or Nothing' documentary covering their 2026/27 season. The series has previously featured Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City.
Borson told Football Insider: "It's probably worth £10million-£15m, and obviously, it's a pretty high-margin asset sale. There's not a lot of cost there." He added that while the deal could be lucrative, it carries risks if the season goes poorly, noting: "You're giving up, in terms of the cost, is the access, and it's allowing cameras in places where you haven't let them be before, recording stuff and losing editorial control."
Borson concluded: "So look, if it's a good season, then it's great. If it's a very bad season, with managerial issues and individual player issues, you enjoy the money, but you know that you're going to take some impact from it on the other side. It's worked fine for City, and it worked fine for Arsenal. I'm sure it'll be fine, but there is some risk."
