Club career

Early career

Obertan was born in Pantin, France[2] and 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.[3] 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.[4]

Bordeaux

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.[5] 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[6] and made his Champions League debut a month later, in a 3–0 loss against Liverpool.[7] 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.[8] He made 17 league appearances and a total of 23 matches scoring one goal during his debut season.[9]

The following season, he signed a contract extension[10] and his playing time increased to 37 matches and three goals, though he was still limited to mostly substitute appearances.[11] 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.[12] 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.[13][14] 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.[15]

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.[16] Obertan netted his only league goal for Lorient in a 3–1 away win over Grenoble on 4 April.[17] During his loan spell at Lorient, Obertan made a total of 17 appearances scoring two goals.[18]

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.[19] The following day, Obertan successfully passed his medical in Manchester[20] and, on 8 July, signed his contract officially making him a Manchester United player.[21] The transfer fee was undisclosed, but is believed to be in the region of £3 million,[22] with Obertan joining the club on a four-year deal.[23]

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.[24] Following three games for the Manchester United reserve team, including a 3–0 win over Oldham Athletic on his debut,[25][26] Obertan made his senior debut in the club's 2–0 away win over Barnsley in the League Cup fourth round on 27 October.[27] 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.[28] 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.[29] 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.[30] 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.[31] 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.[32] 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.[33] 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.[34] 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.[35] With Manchester United finished the 2010–11 season as Champions, Obertan made six appearance for the club, which

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,[36] as Manchester United planned a rebuild of their squad.[37]

Newcastle United

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.[38][39]

He lost his place in the starting 11 to fellow Frenchman Hatem Ben Arfa.[44][45] 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.[46] Obertan provided an assist for Ben Afra, in a 2–1 loss against Arsenal on 12 March 2012.[47] However, Obertan was once again injured when he suffered ankle injury that kept him out for a month.[48] 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.[49] Obertan finished the 2011–12 season, making 23 appearances and scoring once.

After making his return against QPR,[54] Obertan provided two assists between 26 December 2012 and 29 December 2012 against Manchester United and Arsenal, both which were a lost.[55][56] Obertan later finished the season, making 14 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.[61] In the pre-season, Obertan made an impressive display and scored in a 3–1 loss against Málaga on 2 August 2014.[62] This prompted Pardew to respond, who praised Obertan's performance.[63] 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.[64] 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.[65] In a match against Liverpool on 1 November 2014, Obertan sustained a thigh injury that kept him out between 3–4 months.[66] After returning to training in January,[67] Obertan made his return to the first team, playing 21 minutes, in a 1–1 draw against Stoke City on 8 February 2015.[68] Obertan later finished the 2014–15 season, making 13 appearance and scoring once.
