The young striker made his senior debut in February at Tottenham Hotspur and has mostly featured as a substitute during the latter half of the 2024/25 season.
On Friday, he was brought on at halftime at Hong Kong Stadium and quickly made his mark with two crucial goals that turned the game around.
This win came after a disappointing 1-0 loss to ASEAN All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur earlier in the week, where the team was booed off the pitch.
Despite the challenges, Chido-Obi’s breakthrough performance signals a bright future for the young Nigerian prospect as he aims to find his feet in the Premier League with Manchester United.
