Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Obertan began his career playing for his local club Paris-Pantin before moving to a higher level joining Paris FC in 2002. After spending a year there, he did what most youths at Paris FC often do and joined Paris-Saint Germain. Following another year of training, he moved to the famed Clairefontaine academy in order to further his development.[4] It was here where he was first spotted by Bordeaux scouts and after one year at Clairefontaine, he moved to Bordeaux to begin training with them.[5]

Bordeaux

[edit]

After spending only a year in the reserves, in the 2006–07 season Obertan signed his first professional contract where he was given the number 26 shirt for the senior squad, signing a three-year contract.[6] On 30 September 2006, at the age of 17 he made his professional debut, playing the last 15 minutes of a 2–0 defeat to Valenciennes[7] and made his Champions League debut a month later, in a 3–0 loss against Liverpool.[8] He scored his first goal on 22 April 2007 against Saint-Étienne in a 2–0 away league victory, netting during injury time to seal the win.[9] He made 17 league appearances and a total of 23 matches scoring one goal during his debut season.[10]

The following season, he signed a contract extension[11] and his playing time increased to 37 matches and three goals, though he was still limited to mostly substitute appearances.[12] For the first half of the 2008–09 season, his play was limited again, though he impressed as he scored a brace in Bordeaux's 4–2 win over Guingamp in the Coupe de la Ligue on 11 November 2008.[13] With Bordeaux contending for a title and Obertan not likely to receive playing time, Blanc decided to loan him out to fellow Ligue 1 side Lorient for the rest of the season, where Blanc believed the player would receive more playing time.[14][15] Bordeaux went on to win the 2008–09 Ligue 1 title in Obertan's absence, though he had already contributed 11 league appearances before he departed on loan.[16]

Obertan scored his first goal for Lorient on 24 January 2009, netting the first in a 2–1 home win over Tours in the Coupe de France campaign.[17] Obertan netted his only league goal for Lorient in a 3–1 away win over Grenoble on 4 April.[18] During his loan spell at Lorient, Obertan made a total of 17 appearances scoring two goals.[19]

Manchester United

[edit]

On 6 July 2009, French newspaper L'Equipe announced that Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud had reached an agreement with English club Manchester United for the transfer of Obertan with Triaud stating that an agreement had been reached several weeks ago and that the player had agreed contract terms.[20] The following day, Obertan successfully passed his medical in Manchester[21] and, on 8 July, signed his contract officially making him a Manchester United player.[22] The transfer fee was undisclosed, but is believed to be in the region of £3 million,[23] with Obertan joining the club on a four-year deal.[24]

However, at the start of the 2009–10 season, Obertan suffered a setback when he suffered a spinal problem that kept him on the sidelines for a month.[25] Following three games for the Manchester United reserve team, including a 3–0 win over Oldham Athletic on his debut,[26][27] Obertan made his senior debut in the club's 2–0 away win over Barnsley in the League Cup fourth round on 27 October.[28] He made his Premier League debut for Manchester United on 31 October, coming on as a substitute in the 2–0 win over Blackburn Rovers at Old Trafford.[29] His Champions League debut came that same week, replacing Federico Macheda in the 82nd minute in the 3–3 home draw against CSKA Moscow on 3 November 2009.[30] On 8 December, Obertan set up the second of Michael Owen's hat-trick in a 3–1 away victory at Wolfsburg in the Champions League, taking on 3 players before teeing Owen up for a simple tap-in.[31] On 15 December, Obertan made his first league start for United, being replaced in the 71st minute by Danny Welbeck in a 3–0 home win over Wolves.[32] In his first season at Manchester United, Obertan made 13 appearances in all competitions.

Obertan scored his first goal for United in a 1–0 win over Philadelphia Union on 21 July 2010 on the club's pre-season tour of North America.[33] Just one week later Obertan was forced to miss the start of the new season as he was injured midway through the first half during United's 5–2 victory in the 2010 MLS All-Star Game.[34] On 22 September, Obertan made his return from injury, replacing Javier Hernández in the 68th minute of United's 5–2 away League Cup win over Scunthorpe United.[35] Obertan's first official goal for United came on 2 November, netting the second of a 3–0 away win over Bursaspor in the Champions League, this also being Obertan's first European goal.[36]

Ahead of the 2011–12 season, with his first team place increasingly limited, Newcastle United confirmed their interest in signing Obertan as a direct replacement for Joey Barton,[37] as Manchester United planned a rebuild of their squad.[38]

Newcastle United

[edit]

Obertan signed for Premier League club Newcastle United on a five-year contract on 9 August 2011, for an undisclosed fee believed to be approximately £3 million.[39][40]

He made his debut on 13 August as a half-time substitute at home to Arsenal.[41] Obertan provided an assist for Demba Ba, before being substituted in the 65th minute, in a 3–1 win over Stoke City on 31 October 2011.[42] After the match, it was revealed that Obertan had an infection in his toe and was sidelined for some weeks.[43] On 26 November 2011, Obertan returned to Old Trafford with Newcastle in a fixture against Manchester United in a 1–1 draw.[44] Obertan later came under criticism from Newcastle United supporters as he failed to make a significant impression in the first half of the season. He lost his place in the starting 11 to fellow Frenchman Hatem Ben Arfa.[45][46] He scored his first goal for Newcastle on 1 February 2012 in the 2–0 victory against Blackburn Rovers after coming on as a sub just four minutes before.[47] Obertan provided an assist for Ben Afra, in a 2–1 loss against Arsenal on 12 March 2012.[48] However, Obertan was once again injured when he suffered ankle injury that kept him out for a month.[49] He made his return to the first team coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 win over Chelsea on 2 May 2012.[50] Obertan finished the 2011–12 season, making 23 appearances and scoring once.

Ahead of the 2012–13 season, manager Alan Pardew expected Obertan to make an impact,[51] which Obertan hoping to reproduce his same form in the previous season.[52] Obertan scored his first goal of the 2012–13 season with a low drive against Belgian side Club Brugge in the Europa League on 25 October.[53] However, Obertan failed to make an impact once again, due to unused substitute, absent from the squad[54] and was often sent to the reserve. After making his return against QPR,[55] Obertan provided an assist in each of Newcastle's first two games after Christmas, against Manchester United and Arsenal, though both finished in defeats.[56][57] Obertan later finished the season, making 14 appearances.

In the 2013–14 season saw Obertan's first team opportunities limited further and made his first appearance of the season on 25 September 2013, in a 2–0 win over Leeds United in the third round of League Cup, where he played for 30 minutes.[58] After the match, manager Pardew stated Obertan still has a future at the club[59] After his hopes of being loaned out to Ligue 1 side Evian was never materialised,[60] Obertan suffered knocks, which soon kept him out for months.[61] Despite this, Obertan finished the season, making three appearances.

In the 2014–15 season, Obertan was among several players to be available for transfers and expected to leave, but stayed, as no suitors came forward to sign him over his wages.[62] In the pre-season, Obertan made an impressive display and scored in a 3–1 loss against Málaga on 2 August 2014.[63] This prompted Pardew to respond, who praised Obertan's performance.[64] Obertan then made his first league appearance in almost a year, playing 27 minutes, in a 2–0 loss against Manchester City in the opening game of the season.[65] Obertan scored his first Newcastle United goal in two years, at St James' Park, with a 1–0 win over Leicester City on 18 October 2014.[66] In a match against Liverpool on 1 November 2014, Obertan sustained a thigh injury that kept him out between 3–4 months.[67] After returning to training in January,[68] Obertan made his return to the first team, playing 21 minutes, in a 1–1 draw against Stoke City on 8 February 2015.[69] Obertan later finished the 2014–15 season, making 13 appearances and scoring once.

In the 2015–16 season, Obertan expressed his desire to stay at the club under the new management of Steve McClaren after the talks between the pair went well.[70] In the opening game of the season, Obertan provided an assist for newly signing Georginio Wijnaldum to score, in a 2–2 draw against Southampton.[71] His last outing for Newcastle United was on 26 September 2015 in a 2–2 draw at home to Chelsea, appearing as a 54th-minute substitute replacing the injured Jack Colback.[72] However, Obertan suffered a hamstring injury in training[73] and after undergoing a surgery, it was announced that Obertan would be sidelined for three months.[74] Up until late-March, Obertan remained on the sidelines and soon made his return to training.[75]

Obertan made his Anzhi Makhackala debut, where he played 63 minutes before being substituted for Lorenzo Ebecilio, in a 2–0 loss against Spartak Moscow on 28 August 2016.[80] Three weeks later on 17 September 2016, Obertan scored his first Anzhi Makhackala goal, in a 1–0 away win over Ural Yekaterinburg.[81] However, Obertan soon suffered an injury after sustaining a meniscus injury that kept him out for a month.[82] At the end of 2016, Anzhi was sold to a different owner who significantly reduced club's spending and Obertan was released from his contract by mutual consent.[83]
