Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Gabriel Obertan will make his Manchester United debut at Barnsley on Tuesday night.

The Premier League champions travel to Oakwell for a Carling Cup clash, live on Sky Sports 2, determined to put Sunday's defeat to Liverpool behind them.

While a number of United's senior stars will be rested for a tough trip to Yorkshire, the likes of Obertan and other fringe players will be desperate to impress.

French winger Obertan, 20, has been a frustrated spectator since moving to Old Trafford in the summer from Bordeaux, sidelined as he has been by a spine injury.

However, after coming through three reserve team games unscathed, he is all set to make his Red Devils bow.

"He will play tomorrow against Barnsley, it is a good start for him," said Ferguson.
