United legend Rooney said of the 17 year-old: "he young lad Chido Obi, what I like about him is he's put himself in good positions.
"Naive with some of his chances, but it is encouraging for Man Utd. I've been really impressed with him.?
Fellow former England skipper Shearer also said on Match of the Day: "Obi has given the defenders more problems with his presence. It's been uncomfortable for the centre halves."
