‘Changed the game’ – Man Utd fans tell Ruben Amorim to start wonderkid, 17, who ‘offered more than Hojlund all season’

MANCHESTER UNITED fans have begged Ruben Amorim to start whizkid Chido Obi from now on.

Fans were all on the same wavelength about the 17-year-old after his performance in United’s dramatic 2-2 draw with Everton on Saturday.

Obi replaced Rasmus Hojlund in the 70th minute when United were 2-0 down.

First-half goals from Beto and Abdoulaye Doucoure left Rio Ferdinand feeling “embarrassed” for his former club.

But the introductions of Alejandro Garnacho and Obi brought a much needed change of energy and impetus.

Bruno Fernandes drew one back with a free-kick just two minutes after Obi’s entrance, before Manuel Ugarte’s volley levelled things soon after.
