Obi's goals were impressive, with one taken on the turn and the other headed in from a cross by Mount. Ayden Heaven finished off the game with a late header. Obi's performance was notable, but Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim played it down when asked if he's ready for the first team.
Amorim said, "I think he proved he can score goals in the U18s. The Premier League is a completely different world. He's working really well, and I'm pleased with all the young players tonight."
While Obi showed promise, it remains to be seen if he can maintain his performance level when playing in the first team. Amorim's comments suggest that the Premier League is a significant step up from the academy and preseason games.
