Obertan on course
GABRIEL OBERTAN has finally launched his Manchester United career, and could be in line for a shock senior debut on Saturday.
France Under-21 winger Obertan gave a sparkling 45-minute display for the reserves in midweek to prove he is over a back problem that has kept him out since his £3million move from Bordeaux.
Now Obertan could be on the bench for the visit of Bolton to Old Trafford and is likely to be in the squad for next week’s Champions League trip to CSKA Moscow.
Sir Alex Ferguson predicted last month that Obertan, 20, will have a big impact. He said: “He is very quick, can play both sides or through the middle and brings versatility to us. We expect big things from him.”
