Obertan thanks the fans

Gabriel Obertan has thanked United’s fans for making him feel welcome at Old Trafford – and he’s promising to repay that show of support.

A big part of that has been the reaction from supporters, who’ve warmed to the winger immediately. At Barnsley in the Carling Cup – his debut – fans chanted his name throughout a promising display, then warmly greeted his first outing at Old Trafford against Blackburn.

“I’m very proud of that,” he told us. “It gives you a huge push when you are playing and you hear the supporters singing your name. It’s like you have other forces behind you.

“It’s also made me feel very welcome here. If I hear the fans singing my name I want to give them something back by playing well and working hard for them.”
