Gabriel Obertan relishing Old Trafford return

Newcastle United winger Gabriel Obertan has revealed that he is looking forward to returning to Old Trafford this weekend.

The Frenchman had a two-year stint with Manchester United before joining the Magpies during the summer for an undisclosed fee.

Should he be selected, Saturday's fixture will mark his first match against the Red Devils since leaving the club.

"It'll be a great feeling to be back at Old Trafford. Hopefully we'll win there," Obertan told the Evening Chronicle. "I spent two amazing years there, so it'll be great to be on the pitch at Old Trafford again, to go back there and see friends I was with for two years.

"Hopefully, we'll get a good result there. It would be really, really good.

"It's all about Newcastle getting a good result now."

Obertan joined Man United in 2009 from Bordeaux.
