Looks like this week is far from over as far as disappointing news from United are to be concerned. Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that new Manchester United signing Gabriel Obertan will be out for at least three months! So for all those who wanted to see the acclaimed “Next Henry” in action, there is only one thing I can add; I am equally dissapointed.  Also Vidic and Valencia miss the Asia Tour but will be available for Audi Cup.

The 20-year-old picked up the problem at former club Bordeaux and is now not expected back until October.

The Gaffer also admitted that he knew of the injury when he first lodged his interest in the Frenchman but still decided to go through with the transfer.

The news explains why the winger was not selected as one of United’s 22-man squad for their pre-season tour of Asia earlier this week.

“Obertan has an injury that will keep him out for three months or maybe more,” ”We were aware of that at the medical but we’re quite happy with the situation”

All is understood except the fact that what does this mean to the team dynamics for ManUtd? I hope Fergie has a plan to make it the 19th time for United this season! 

As far as the news for other players goes,Vidic as we have already informed is still not fit enough from his ankle injury, while ManUtd website claims that Valencia is absent owing to some stupid work permit issues! Are not these things the responsibility of the player and the club and a sign of lack of  professionalism?

However the good news is that both of them will be available for the Audi Cup match at Munich!
