Obertan settling at Man Utd through gardening

Manchester United summer signing Gabriel Obertan is settling in at Old Trafford thanks to a bit of gardening!

The French winger has yet to play since signing from Bordeaux in a £3m deal in July because of a back problem.

But he's passing his time by helping out one of the senior Academy staff maintain his garden.

United's Academy director Brian McClair said: "New signing Gabriel Obertan is injured at the moment and can't train and it seems he has developed a keen interest in gardening.

"He's been seen helping an elderly member of the Academy staff by trimming his lawn, pruning his roses and watering his hanging baskets."
