Chido Obi is set to play in the Premier League. |
The 17-year-old Danish striker joined the Red Devils from Arsenal last summer and made eight first-team appearances last season, although he has yet to score an official goal. However, an impressive performance and two goals in a recent friendly in Hong Kong has helped Obi earn big points with the coaching staff.
According to The Athletic , the MU youth coaching staff has been ordered to not use Chido Obi often so that this player can focus all his attention on the main squad. The striker born in 2007 was given the number 32 shirt that used to belong to Carlos Tevez, replacing the old number 46, a clear sign of his increasing status at Old Trafford.
Notably, Obi has seen a marked improvement in his physique over the summer, giving him more confidence when facing physical defenders in the Premier League. Coach Amorim also had specific words of encouragement, asking his favorite student to remain humble and continue to make efforts in every training session.
Obi will have the chance to show his talent in pre-season friendlies, starting with Leeds in Stockholm this Saturday, before heading to the US with the squad to face West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton. With his current form and the trust of the coaching staff, Chido Obi promises to be an explosive face for Man Utd in the new season.
