Man Utd boss Ferguson delighted with Bebe, Obertan after Bursaspor victory

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with his wingers after victory over Bursaspor.

Gabriel Obertan and Bebe both found the net after Darren Fletcher had broken the deadlock with a well-struck shot early in the second-half of his 50th Champions League appearance.

"Gabriel has been derailed quite a bit by injury," said Ferguson, of Obertan, who was scoring his first goal for the club.

"It has been a problem for the lad. He had two or three last season and then picked up another in Texas this pre-season that kept him out for five or six weeks.

"But he is back now and as he showed tonight, he has fantastic talent."

As for Bebe, signed from VitoriaGuimaraes in the summer even though he had never played a competitive game for the club and Ferguson had not seen him in action, the Scot is convinced there is untapped potential to be fulfilled.

"He is a good, young player who still has a lot to learn," he said.

"He still needs a lot of coaching but the raw talent is there. He is brave and quick, and for such a young player he is a good decision maker.

"The chances of him being able to realise his potential are very good."
