Wayne Rooney was one of the many people who spoke about Manchester United’s youngster Chido Obi-Martin after the game between Manchester United and Fulham in the FA Cup. While United ended up losing the game, one of the most positive takeaways was the performance by Obi-Martin. The young star played brilliantly for United, and many people, including the likes of Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer, feel that this could be a brilliant thing for United, who are currently struggling in front of goals due to Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee being unable to provide the necessary firepower.
Wayne Rooney, one of the biggest legends in Manchester United’s history, said:
“What I’ve really liked about him is he’s put himself in some really good positions. I’ve been really impressed by him. He looked like the one who could go on and nick it. Little bit naive with some of his chances but I think it’s really encouraging for Manchester United. They’ve obviously got Zirkzee and Hojlund not scoring. Now, that might be another option moving forward in the season. I’ve been really impressed with him.”

Ruben Amorim spoke about who he will play in the next game and how he will make the decision to choose his team in the next game. He said:
“Anything can happen in the next games. We need to see the opposition, feel the moment of the player physically. I will focus on just the next game. I will choose the best players to win the next match. We have a problem with goals. Today we create situations but even in the last game sometimes you felt just with set pieces we are going to make some danger. The first step is to create situations. Today we create but we have to improve that to help our forwards and strikers to score.”

Alan Shearer is another legendary figure in Premier League history and is regarded as one of the best strikers of all time. He holds the all-time record for the most goals scored in Premier League history which speaks to his brilliant ability and why his opinions about the game are so highly valued. It would not be too tough for a player, the caliber of Alan Shearer, to spot another talented player. The English striker spork about Chido Obi-Martin after Manchester United’s game against Fulham. He said:
“He’s been a real handful in there you know. He’s certainly offered a lot more than Hojlund has when he was on the pitch. He’s been a nuisance and tough to play against. I like what I see from Obi, I really do. He’s certainly given them a different option to play with.”
While Chido Obi-Martin has been praised by various legends, including club legend Wayne Rooney, he is still just a youngster, and it would not be smart for United to put him under pressure. They should concentrate on helping him develop his talents so he can reach the peak of his ability. Only time will tell if Chido Obo-Martin develops into a crucial player for Manchester United and whether that happens this season or sometime in the future.
