Ferguson lauds Obertan-FIFA.com
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson heaped praise on Gabriel Obertan after the winger steered his side to their second successive pre-season tour victory. The 21-year-old capped an impressive all-round display by hitting the only goal against Philadelphia Union in the 76th minute at Lincoln Financial Field.
The strike was Obertan's first in United's colours since joining from Bordeaux last year. The Frenchman's debut season at Old Trafford was marred by injury, but he looked full of running against the Union and broke the stiff resistance of the Major League Soccer outfit with a neat finish after being played in by teenage striker Danny Welbeck.
"Goals always help players of course, and when they are forwards in particular," said Ferguson. "There is a goal in Gabby, there is no question of that.
"The best aspect of his goal was his run, the timing of his run, and the timing of the pass and the weight of the pass. It made it a really good goal. He has taken it well."
