Mazraoui praises recently promoted Academy striker who dismantle Man United defense line in training yesterday.
In a remarkable training session at Manchester United, young academy striker Chido Obi has left a lasting impression on his senior teammates, particularly Noussair Mazraoui. The Moroccan defender couldn’t hide his admiration for the rising star, describing Obi as one of the most aggressive and fearless young forwards he has ever encountered. His dazzling dribbling skills, relentless attacking mindset, and clinical finishing reportedly saw him glide past both Mazraoui and Matthijs de Ligt multiple times, scoring three solo goals against André Onana in the process.
Obi’s rapid development has not gone unnoticed, with Mazraoui openly praising the youngster’s hunger for the game. According to him, the academy product has an unshakable confidence and a drive to improve that sets him apart from his peers. The right-back acknowledged the importance of nurturing such exceptional talent, pointing out that Manchester United’s future looks bright with players like Obi emerging from the academy ranks.
What makes Obi even more intriguing is his willingness to learn and adapt. Mazraoui noted that the young forward constantly seeks advice and asks the right questions, a trait that reflects his ambition to make an impact at the highest level. His work ethic and natural goal-scoring ability have reportedly impressed both teammates and coaching staff, leading to speculations that Ruben Amorim could hand him a starting role against Nottingham Forest.
With senior players rallying behind him and his performances turning heads, Obi’s breakthrough into the first team seems imminent. If his training displays are anything to go by, Manchester United fans might soon witness the rise of another academy gem ready to make his mark on the big stage.
