United Set To Sign French Starlet?

Last updated : 06 July 2009 By editor
Boardeaux President Jean-Louis Triaud tells L'Equipe that there is a 'great possibility' that United will sign the young Frenchman Gabriel Obertan this week.

"United want him and we would be delighted to see Gabriel develop in such a club.

"We will make it official when the moment comes."

Obertan, who is 20 years old spent the second half of last season on loan at Lorient, is a regular in the France Under-21 side and scored against England U21 in March.

He was awarded the Most Valuable Player award at last month's Toulon International Youth Tournament.
