Manchester United are set to sign Bordeaux's 20-year-old forward Gabriel Obertan, according to reports. Obertan, who has been described by scouts as "rapid, physical and skilful in front of goal" was also wanted by Arsenal, Milan and Internazionale, claimed the French newspaper L'Équipe. The Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud was quoted as saying: "It's actually a great opportunity, we would love to see Gabriel evolve at such a club." L'Équipe compared Obertan to Liverpool's French forward David Ngog and added that the transfer fee has not been disclosed but an agreement between United and Bordeaux has been in place for several weeks.

The Daily Mail claims United will raid Champions League conquerors Barcelona for holding midfielder Yaya Toure. The Ivory Coast international is allegedly being eyed as a potential replacement if Owen Hargreaves fails to return from injury.
One new arrival, Michael Owen, is tipped by former manager Graeme Souness to succeed at United. "I don't think Michael is shot," says the Scot. "The move will excite him and give him a new lease of life."
The Reds could reap further funds from the sale of £6million-rated Fraizer Campbell to Hull or Sunderland, and The Daily Mirror claims United are insisting on a 25 percent sell-on clause in any deal for the 21-year-old.
