Obertan 7/2 to score on debut

  • 27 October 2009

French winger Gabriel Obertan is set to make his debut for Manchester United in their Carling Cup clash at Barnsley and bookmakers don't know what to make of the highly-rated 20-year-old.

Obertan has been given time to get over a niggling back injury since arriving at Old Trafford in July but Sir Alex Ferguson insists: "We expect big things from him.

"At 16 he was one of Europe's outstanding young talents," the Red Devils' boss told manutd.com. "He's very quick and he can play both sides or through the middle so he brings a real versatility to us."

Obertan received rave reviews for a recent run-out in the reserves at Oldham and is as short as 6/5 with Coral to score on his first outing for the first team, but Sky Bet are taking a chance on his sharpness by offering 7/2 he hits the net at anytime.
