Marcel Sabitzer

Can Manchester United strike a late deal for FC Bayern's Marcel Sabitzer? And should they?

It is absolutely essential that Manchester United bring in a midfield reinforcement, especially with Eriksen sidelined for a minimum of 12 weeks. It was clear, even before the injury took place, that Manchester United would need to reinforce to provide options to rotate for next season. The Denmark international has occupied the slot next to Casemiro in a double pivot that has seen a transformation occur in Manchester United’s midfield. Occupying a very similar position to Eriksen, the Austria international is seemingly the perfect replacement in Manchester United’s midfield. The Red Devils have a mass amount of games coming thick and fast, which means they will be playing minimum twice a week until early March. And so Manchester United, late last night, opened up their net across Europe to see who would be available on a loan deal.

Manchester United could replace the injured Christian Eriksen with Marcel Sabitzer, so what can fans expect from the Austrian?

He doesn't shirk a tackle and he can take the ball under pressure in a crowded midfield. The fact that his goals and assists are almost the same shows he is a real dual threat. Sabitzer has had a very healthy goals and assists record almost everywhere he has been, with Bayern Munich being the only real exception. A move to Rapid Vienna followed and then 18 months later, he became one of the major parts of Red Bull's Rasenballsport Leipzig project. He then joined Bayern Munich in 2021 for just €15 million despite clearly being worth much more than that. The Dane has been ruled out until late April at the earliest after he suffered an ankle injury during the FA Cup win over Reading.

Manchester United have agreed personal terms with Chelsea target Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich.

Man United are looking to sign a midfielder on transfer deadline day following the injury news regarding Christian Eriksen.

United met Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final, and goals from Facundo Pellistri and Fred secured a 2-0 win to lift the trophy. Ten Hag's men continued to perform well in the cup competitions as well, ending the season with a trophy to their name. Despite Eriksen's absence, United continued to win under Ten Hag, and a run of nine straight wins in the league between March and April took United up in the table. They were the only goal contributions Sabitzer managed all season, improving his average rating which consisted of a 6.53 rating in the Premier League and a 6.8 rating in the Carabao Cup. On his arrival, Sabitzer was used as a starter by Ten Hag, but some poor performances saw the midfielder quickly drop to the bench before rarely making an appearance. On the basis of a short-term loan, United will struggle to find an option better than Sabitzer.

Manchester United are hoping to land at least one more midfielder in what remains of the January transfer window.

The Blues are closing in on Benfica star Enzo Fernandez and have tabled a £115m bid for his services, with the player desperate to make the move to Stamford Bridge. The midfielder is hoping to secure a move in what remains of the transfer window, and several clubs are keen to acquire his services. United are in the market for midfield reinforcements due to a recent injury sustained by Christian Eriksen that has seen him ruled out for months.
