Chido Obi has been largely absent from the Manchester United first team this season. |
The young Danish striker joined MU from Arsenal with high expectations after dominating the youth ranks. While managing the "Red Devils," Amorim promoted Obi to the first team when Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee failed to meet expectations. However, the 18-year-old striker has yet to score in eight appearances.
Following Hojlund's departure and Zirkzee's disappointing performances, many believed Obi would get another chance in the first team. However, in reality, he hasn't appeared once in Manchester United's matchday squad this season, even after Michael Carrick took over as manager.
According to the Manchester Evening News , the Manchester United coaching staff are deliberately slowing down Obi's development to allow him to perfect his skills. The experts believe the young striker needs to significantly improve his off-ball movement, a crucial element when facing experienced defenders at the highest level.
Positive signs began to emerge in the Premier League 2 play-off semi-final against Man City on May 9th. Obi shone with a brace of headers, contributing to Manchester United's U21 team's thrilling 4-3 victory. The young striker impressed with his aerial ability and constantly troubled the opposing defense.
That performance could be Chido Obi's strongest affirmation of his chances of returning to the Manchester United first team for the remainder of the season.
