Speaking ahead of Manchester United's Premier League match against Everton, Amorim said that giving Obi his chance too soon was a mistake. Amorim believes that the 16-year-old was put in a situation where he struggled to cope, and it's not ideal for young players to feel like they're already part of the team.

Amorim also emphasized the importance of carefully managing the transition of young players from the academy to the first team. He highlighted the need for young players to behave well and adapt to the demands of playing in the Premier League. Amorim is working on providing additional support to the academy, including a nutritionist, to help young players prepare for the challenges of playing in the top league.

The goal is to create a more stable and supportive environment for young players to develop and grow. This approach will help them feel more confident and prepared when they're eventually called up to the first team.
