WHIZKID ... Gabriel Obertan
The 20-year-old, regarded as one of France's hottest
prospects, passed a medical at Manchester United yesterday. And he
will tie up an £8million transfer when he pens a four-year contract
today.
Obertan, who can play in a central midfield role or up
front, had hoped to return home to Bordeaux after his physical
check-up. But United chiefs told him he must start training with
his new team-mates this morning.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Inter Milan had been watching the
youngster.
