Manchester United will wrap up an £8 million deal for Bordeaux winger Gabriel Obertan today.
The Sun says the 20-year-old, regarded as one of France's hottest prospects, passed a medical at Manchester United yesterday.
And he will tie up an £8million transfer when he pens a four-year contract today.
Obertan, who can play in a central midfield role or up front, had hoped to return home to Bordeaux after his physical check-up.
But United chiefs told him he must start training with his new team-mates this morning.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Inter Milan had been watching the youngster.
