United clinch Obertan deal

Manchester United have continued their rebuilding for the new season with the signing of winger Gabriel Obertan from Bordeaux.

The 20-year-old has agreed a four-year contract with the Barclays Premier League champions.

Obertan, a Paris-born France Under-21 international who can fill several attacking roles, will have to wait for his first-team bow, however, as an unspecified minor injury will keep him out of United’s forthcoming tour of the Far East.
