Chido Obi expressed his delight after making his Manchester United debut in the 1-0 Premier League defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
The 17-year-old came on in stoppage time, replacing Casemiro in a match where James Maddison scored the only goal for the visitors. Softfootball reports that this marked his first inclusion in the matchday squad under Ruben Amorim.
Manager Ruben Amorim was forced to name eight uncapped youngsters on the bench due to a severe injury and illness crisis within the senior squad.
This unusual circumstance provided a rare opportunity for Obi to step onto the pitch at Old Trafford and experience the intensity of top-flight football alongside established stars.
Obi shared his emotions on social media following the final whistle. He wrote:
Disappointed with the loss. On a personal note, thanks to the gaffer and the club for making a dream come true for me and my family.
