He's only been with us for five minutes. 
I think he has shown flashes of what is to come, I think he is a really promising youngster.

Patience is the most important thing when it comes to young players.Only time will tell us if they'll 'make' it or not and regarding Obertan I have no doubt.Just need to wait
Yeah right ....

Cracking player

Will never be as good as Octobertan.
the little zidane
Brilliant bit of skill for the 2nd goal. Signs are good so far on him.
Two assists showed different parts of his game.
Fancy shmancy dribbling stuff for the first one followed by making the correct decision in playing an intelligent, early pass for the second. It's the latter quality which makes me think he's a real find.

Is he on the French National Team ? He should be.
Agree, hes shown alot of intelligence in his play
He's such a joy to watch.
still room for improvement but looks like a little gem
Do you think he's good enough to be our first choice left winger?
His decision making is absolutely top class.
Hopefully he plays well enough for the remainder of the season so that he gets into France's world cup squad.
I'm glad he got his first assist (and second). Super piece of play to create Owen's 2nd goal. Still waiting for Obertan to score himself. Anyway, hope he gets some starts over the next couple of months and see if he can make a case for himself for starting matches when Giggs is being rested.
If only he'd track back occasionally. He ambled back every time moves broke down, despite only being on for twenty minutes.
That said, he's looking like a fantastic prospect, and he'll (hopefully) learn these things the longer he stays here.
Probably not just yet. Needs to work on his defensive game a bit. Maybe at home thought, against weaker teams?
Great option to have off the bench meanwhile.
His cameo was absolutely stunning. That first assist was fecking superb. Take a bow son, take a bow.
What I meant was, once Giggs hangs up his boots (in around 2 seasons), will Obertan be his successor or do you think we'll be on the look out for another winger?
I definitely think Obertan has the potential to be the Left Wing successor. Just look at his play - skill, pace, acceleration, ability to beat a man, everything you need in a good winger.
Best thing about him though, as already alluded to above by some people, is his intelligence. He knows when to play the pass and to do the trick - that's a great thing to have at his young age.
Bags of potential!

Fergie truly spoils us at times, 3 fecking Mil!!!!!
Too early to tell. He's definitely got a chance.
His play for Owen's 2nd goal was mesmerising
Lovely bit of skill
Fantastic play, took 3 defenders out of the game, and great awareness in the pass for Owen's third, not a bad 15 minutes or whatever it was.
3 million
I'd rather France didn't select him to be honest. Not for this world cup anyway. It's better he keeps his head down and works hard at United.

Bloody brilliant bit of skill for that first assist, excellent signs
He looks class.
Obertan receives ball " go on son take him on... yes... yes.... YES!!!!!!"
It's just so brilliant
He was good but he looked absolutely knackered!
Nah I think that's just the typical moody French demeanour!
He's probably not even match-fit yet.
