Celtic legend Chris Sutton has expressed his admiration for Manchester United youngster Chido Obi, praising the teenager's impressive physicality, according to All Nigeria Soccer. Sutton, who had a illustrious career with Celtic and Chelsea, believes that Obi's ability to hold his own against top-level opponents is a testament to his exceptional physical attributes.
Sutton's comments came after Obi's impressive debut for Manchester United in the Premier League and FA Cup. The 17-year-old has been making waves in the club's youth system, and his recent performances have caught the attention of fans and pundits alike.
According to Sutton, Obi's physicality is one of his standout qualities. The Celtic legend was particularly impressed by Obi's ability to muscle Calvin Bassey off the ball during Manchester United's FA Cup clash against Fulham. "Anyone who can muscle Calvin Bassey off the ball, you take your hat off to," Sutton said via Daily Mail. "Physically, he does look like he is there, and then he also looks explosive."
Sutton's praise for Obi's physicality is not limited to his ability to win physical battles. The Celtic legend also believes that Obi's athleticism and agility make him a formidable opponent on the pitch. "He looks fearless to me," Sutton said. "That's what you get from young players because he hasn't been part of this struggling team."
Obi's emergence as a top-level player is a welcome boost for Manchester United, who have struggled in attack this season. With Obi's impressive physicality and athleticism, the Red Devils may have found a gem of a player who can help them turn their season around.
As Obi continues to develop and refine his skills, he will undoubtedly face new challenges and expectations. However, with the likes of Chris Sutton singing his praises, the young forward has already shown that he has the potential to become a top-level player.
