Obi saw action against Poland and Italy over the past week.

And Hojer delivered an upbeat report on the  centre-forward, telling Tipsbladet: "I think he is integrating well into the squad.

"We had talked a lot about it beforehand because he is five years younger than some of the players we brought along. He is a very young man, he was there to learn and we had him with us to assess him.

"He made a good impression and I was extremely pleased to see how he adapted to the squad and how the boys welcomed him. He has shown himself well.

"Now, it's back home to continue working at Manchester United and see if he can get a bit more playing time there."
