“Dream come true” – Chido Obi reacts to making Man United debut during Tottenham defeat as Ruben Amorim give honest verdict on the striker

Manchester United suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League clash in North London on the weekend

Both teams have struggled this season, but Spurs took advantage of United’s defensive mistakes to secure the victory.

James Maddison reacted quickest when André Onana failed to properly deal with a shot from Lucas Bergvall, parrying it into a dangerous area and allowing Maddison an easy finish.

Ruben Amorim’s side was ineffective in attack, failing to break through a vulnerable Spurs defense.

Despite their struggles, Amorim did not look to the substitutes bench until the final moments of the game when Chido Obi came on to make his debut for the club.

The 17-year-old striker was unable to make an impact, with United struggling to get the ball forward in the final moments, but it would’ve been a proud moment for Obi nonetheless.

Obi reacts to making United debut
Obi joined the club earlier this season after rejecting a professional contract at Arsenal and making the switch to Old Trafford.

The exciting teenager has been excelling in the youth teams and scored a hat-trick against Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup earlier this week.

He was awarded a chance in the squad against Spurs due to Amorim suffering an injury crisis in the first-team, which includes a season-ending injury for Amad.

Obi took to Instagram after the game to reflect on his “dream” debut despite being disappointed with the result.

“Disappointed with the loss on a personal note thanks to the gaffer & the club for making a dream come true for me and my family 🤞🏾🙏🏾,” he wrote.
