Having scored his first United goal in Tuesday night's 3-0 win over Bursaspor and with Nani ruled out of the impending meeting with Mick McCarthy's men after suffering a groin injury in the first-half, Obertan's chance to make an impact at Old Trafford has finally arrived.
"It is going to be difficult to keep my place but I am going to work hard and make sure I have no regrets if I don't make the squad at the weekend," said the 21 year-old.
"But I am working towards making it and I hope the coach picks me."
Ferguson may end up with little option given the huge number of injuries he is carrying at the moment, even if Nani should not be sidelined for the same length of time as Antonio Valencia, who is out until next year with a double break of his ankle.
And the United manager has already indicated he would be happy to place his faith in their back-up wide-men Obertan and Bebe, who was also on the scoresheet against Bursaspor, for the contest with Wolves.
"Gabriel has been derailed quite a bit by injury," Ferguson said.
"It has been a problem for the lad. He had two or three last season and then picked up another in Texas this pre-season that kept him out for five or six weeks.
"But he is back now and as he showed tonight, he has fantastic talent."
