Obertan accepts he has long way to go at Man Utd

Gabriel Obertan accepts he has a long way to go to being a Manchester United first teamer.

The French attacker cites both Ryan Giggs and Nani as perfect examples of what being a winger is all about and he is aiming to follow their lead.

"I hope to become a real Manchester United player but the most important thing is to keep working hard," he told reporters on Tuesday.

"I try to learn from players like Giggsy and Nani. Playing alongside players like them is very important.

"It may take a while, but I'm going to keep working hard. I'm focused on doing my best for the club and then we'll see.

"Hopefully I'll get some time on the pitch to show what I can do."
