Manchester United signed 20-year-old Gabriel Obertan from Bordeaux on a four-year contract on Wednesday.
I believe Obertan could be just what United need, he has proven himself in Ligue 1, and I’m anxious to see how he will adjust to the English game. He can play in several attacking positions and becomes third signing of the summer.
“Gabriel is a player we have tracked for a few years now, but because of his educational programme our efforts to get him here have always been delayed,” Ferguson told the club’s website.
“We are delighted to get him now as he is an exciting prospect. We like to get young players and develop them, and we will see that in Gabriel over the next two years.”
“I am very happy to join Manchester United,” Paris-born Obertan said.
“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.”

Once again, Fergie spending wisely while the likes of City and Real Madrid are throwing silly money around. A very sound investment – a great young player
I think this another very shrewd buy – another young talent that can be developed.
Again a shrewd buy but the rate that Man City are buying talent will it be enough?
