Gabriel Obertan believes that he can fill the gap that Antonio Valencia's injury has left in the Manchester United squad.
The Manchester United winger has just recovered from a pre-season injury and is looking forward to taking his chance in the squad in Antonio Valencia's absence.
Speaking to his clubs website, Obertan said: "It is sad for Antonio, and he will have our full-support while he is injured.
"However, it also gives us players in the same position as him a chance to make an impact in the first-team.
"I hope that this applies for me as well, and I will just have to do the best I can if I am called upon.
"The tide can turn very fast. At the moment, though, I am just glad to be back playing, and my greatest wish is to make an impact here at Manchester United", he said.
The Frenchman also gave an insight into how playing with United legends like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes has developed his own game.
"Training with players like Giggs, Scholes and the other superstars who are in the squad has also helped me improve on all aspects of my game", Obertan added.
"I need to keep improving, get even better and get as much first-team experience as possible."
