Obi, who came on as a late substitute, gave the Cottagers' defence some problems during the game.

What Rooney said

Rooney praised Obi's display, stating, "The young lad Chido Obi, what I like about him is he's put himself in good positions. Naive with some of his chances, but it is encouraging for Man Utd. I've been really impressed with him."

Fellow former England skipper Shearer also commended Obi's performance on Match of the Day.

He said, "Obi has given the defenders more problems with his presence. It's been uncomfortable for the centre halves."

Obi's impressive cameo has sparked optimism among Manchester United fans, who are eager to see more of the young forward in action. With Rooney and Shearer's endorsement, Obi's stock continues to rise, and he will likely be given more opportunities to showcase his talents in the future.
