Manchester United today (08/07/2009) signed from FC
Bordeaux their third player of the summer, as 20 year
old French starlet Gabriel Obertan penned a four year
deal with the English Champions.
SAF a big admirer for some time said of the player who
can play as a forward, on the right or a central
midfielder "Gabriel is a player we have tracked for a
few years now," "But because of his educational
programme our efforts to get him have been delayed. We
are delighted to get him now as he is an exciting
prospect."
Obertan is currently injured and is expected to miss
United pre season tour of the Far East.
"I am very happy to join Manchester United," said
Obertan "This is a big opportunity for me to play at
such a great club. I am very excited to be here
and I look forward to proving what I can do."

Champions League experience & has played over 100 1st
team games so far in his short career.
Ex United defender & current
Manager of Bordeaux
Laurent Blanc was quoted recently as saying that the
youngster requires some polishing up. "I was
surprised too, but it is an unexpected chance for him to
play with one of the best clubs in the world," Blanc
said.
"Manchester United have been tracking him for a long
time. They certainly hope to advance him, something that
Bordeaux and Lorient have failed to do. He has the
potential, but he must overcome psychological and mental
challenges so he can express his true value."
