Finally, we have some good injury news. Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that United’s new signing Gabriel Obertan should be ready to make his debut in six weeks.The winger joined Man United this summer for £3 million but it was immediately announced that he had an injury.
Sir Alex said:
"Gabriel has had a spine problem but I think he'll be back in about a month to six weeks' time.
"We're taking our time with him because we want him back and at 100 per cent."
"He's very quick, he can play both sides or through the middle and he brings a real versatility to us.
"At 16 he was one of the outstanding young talents in Europe.
"He said to us that over this last year and a half he's been playing with this back injury and no-one thought about getting a scan.
"We expect big things from him. He's a nice boy, speaks good English and should have no problem settling in."
Sir Alex has also spoken about new signing Mame Biram Diouf who was bought from Molde but sent straight back to them on loan.
"Diouf will stay there until January.
"We'll then make a decision over whether to apply for a work permit for him or leave him there for the full season.
"He's a powerful boy, quick as hell, good in the air, 21 years of age and he's done very well at Molde.
"Playing in Norway is similar to playing here in terms of climate, so we've not got an issue with that either.”
Finally, there was a little bit of news on Serbian youngster Adem Ljajic, who has also returned on loan to his old side Partizan Belgrade.
Fergie said: "He's doing very well.
"He was the star of the tournament for Serbia at the UEFA Under-19 Championship over the summer."
