Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed Gabriel Obertan could make his Premiership debut tomorrow against Blackburn Rovers.
The French winger made his Reds bow in Tuesday's Carling Cup triumph at Barnsley.
"It was Gabriel's first real game on Tuesday," Ferguson said this morning. "He's had a few runouts for the Reserves but I think it's too early for him to start tomorrow. It depends on injuries - he may get on the bench."
Although glimpses of the 20-year-old winger have been fleeting so far, Sir Alex is in little doubt of Obertan's pedigree.
"He's settled in well and he definitely has ability - he has marvellous pace, which is always important in football today," said the manager.
"He's overcome his injury, which is the most important thing. He didn't know about his injury when he signed him and we've picked it up. Hopefully we've corrected it."
