Man Utd to rush Obertan in for Bolton date

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to rush Gabriel Obertan into his squad for their clash with Bolton Wanderers.

Obertan is set to make his long-awaited Manchester United debut this weekend.

Obertan, a £3.5million summer signing from Bordeaux, has been sidelined with a back injury since joining United but made his first outing for the reserves on Monday.

And United boss Ferguson is ready to include France Under-21 star Obertan among his substitutes for Bolton's visit to Old Trafford on Saturday.

Obertan, 20, has been touted as a successor to Cristiano Ronaldo and has the same ability as United's former star player to play on either flank, as well as up front.
