Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed that 17-year-old Chido Obi will be included in the squad for Sunday’s highly anticipated Premier League clash against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Amorim praised Obi’s potential, noting that the young talent, who impressed during his brief appearance in the FA Cup defeat to Fulham, has earned his place despite his lack of experience.
“Anyone can start,” Amorim told the club’s website ahead of the match. “If they’re training tomorrow or playing today, they can be ready—and Chido is on the list, so he could play.”
With United juggling multiple competitions and dealing with a limited squad, the manager highlighted the importance of maximizing the use of available players while managing fitness concerns.
“At a club like this, you can’t afford to think about rotation with such a small squad right now,” Amorim continued. “We’re assessing which players are fresh and not at risk of injury. Even so, we have to take some risks, but our goal is to stay competitive on Sunday.”
Obi’s inclusion adds an exciting element to the match, with United aiming to solidify their league position while Arsenal continues its title push. Fans will be keen to see if the teenager can make his mark on the big stage.
