ManUtd linked with Gabriel Obertan. Gabriel who???

Posted July 7th, 2009 by Franky in Transfer Talk

obertan According to the media our team will be extended with the French 20 years old Gabriel Obertan. My first reaction was: Gabriel who and I bet we all think that when hearing the name???

The guy has been a member of Bordeaux since 2006 and has played 54 games for the Girondins, while scoring 3 times. In 2009 former ManUtd player Laurent Blanc, now Manager over at Bordeaux, decided to loan him out to Lorient, French Ligue 1⁽¹⁾ team and there he has played 8 games and scored 1.

Obertan is said to be a winger who can also play as striker or in the midfield. He is rumoured to have attracted the attention of Arsenal and Inter as well. I think that Jean-Louis Triaud , President of Bordeaux, had translation problems when he declared that we were on the verge of signing Obertan and actually meant the other Manchester.

UPDATE: Obertan said to have medical at ManUtd.
